I'd argue that. You're blocking off the factory radiator with an intercooler. It'll be seeing nothing but hot air now. Additional capacity is pretty necessary at that point. Water temps get hot on these cars. Also, given how much of the kit you'd have to remove to swap out a clutch, doing it before the kit goes on is the most cost-effective option if you're paying labor.

Chuck, I would argue that since I am in Colorado and we seldom see 90+ degree days. However, even in the dead of summer I never seen my temps rise very much at all, but then again im running a colder fuel. Houston on pump gas could be very different.

But.. I have honestly never seen a need for an aftermarket radiator, for street use, on any of my vehicles. I had a twin charged 350z making extreme under hood temps with the top mount supercharger and the top mount turbo along with not 1 but 2 intercoolers plugging the air flow. I can honestly say that I never seen my temp rise at all.

Now if you are going to be doing autocross or time attacks thats a different situation.

Are you talking water or oil temp? How are you monitoring water temp?

Water. In my 350 it was just the dashboard gauge. Now in my 370 im using torque with the obd dongle.

Oil did rise. I have a Defi oil temp.

Ok. I'm seeing 200-220 degree water temps as normal on stock Zs. That's higher than I'd like to see even before you stick an intercooler in front of the radiator.
