Depends on what's your interpretation of performance? Our cars suck in the heat. The only way to trick our cars to run just as well in hot weather is to introduce something nice and cold like methanol or alcohol in to the intake. Ok nitrous does the same with bonuses. Off topic though. My point is once the car begins to reach operating temps performance peaks. What Waldig is trying to accomplish since he autocross races is keep those temps down to keep optimal power for as long as possible. In drag racing we only need it for a few minutes if that. We never need the extra cooling unless your street racing or highway racing. Is normal cooling good enough? I would say yes, because not one person regardless of how hot it is has ever complained of overheating. Even running at the track for 20 runs. So upgrade the cooling to keep your "performance" peak longer. Not going to improve your quarter mile time, but should improve your lap time in autocross. What you think professor W.?
