GTM Stage 1 SC purchased

I decided to upgrade mine for a couple reasons. The first as fryzia pointed out, weather in the desert is harsh, the second is all the other heat exchangers that are now in the way. It was painfully expensive, but for my own build, it was the right call. Now... If someone wants to buy my twin 19 row oil coolers, I'm thinking of upgrading to 25's haha. I was a bit miffed to see oil temps jump 20 degrees when doing a 5th gear pull on the dyno lol. Went from 200 to 220 and took a few min to cool back down.

Exactly. This is why you upgrade the radiator. You've stuffed an intercooler in front of it, and at least one oil cooler. You've compromised the ability of the OEM rad becasue it doesn't get cool air anymore. The only reason you don't see this reflected on the water temp display is that it's inaccurate and useless.
