Your combo of the CSF with the GTM fans should get better results than I had though. Once my bleeder screw crossed threaded I was done with it.

If anyone wants a used CSF radiator for cheap send me a pm.

Now this is from a SC standpoint which has a smaller intercooler.
Going from the OEM to CSF I saw a good drop in temp after pushing it and recovering, but the CSF is a bit small. It looks to be a solid upgrade for N/A track car, but throwing in boost and high rev driving I think it will fall short. Now new fans, hood, etc might bring it up against others but being smaller will keep it falling short.
