[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 6961189, member: 11681"] The larger rads by themselves do very little. The main reason for this is that they are thicker and therefore more restrictive to air flow. Now a larger rad with increased air flow, that's a different story. Still not the ultimate end of heating issues but a good step in the process. Without increased air flow though almost no difference, they are actually reducing cooling air flow to the rad. That's why all the road racers you see have fully ducted and contained rad inlets and massive negative pressure inducing hood vents. All the air gets used for cooling(no leak around) and the volume is enhanced with the negative pressure induced by the hood and fender vents and wider and deeper rad air dams. [/QUOTE]
