Right, but I do not beleive thats usualy the case. Especialy in the summer months. Well placed fmic for good air flow with minimal pressure loss and properly sized would be optimal for street/road race. Drag race, bring on the water and ice.
so your telling me that for a tour a radiator is not usually heat transfer effecient unless at a drag strip??? because that is what a W/A intercooler uses to cool its charge ( and then another to cool the water), and unless you got a bad case of plastic impeller your radiator does a marvelous job cooling the engine. If you cant see where im going with this then never mind.
having said that - my MSP has an A/A "Fmic" and it works well enough, but in its stock location could benefit from better air/flow, also something to think about when comparing the 2. the tour aint got much space

Relax you keep hashing things I already stated. We already no it will take much work to fit well in a tour. As far as the radiator deal, if you use coolant instead of water as the media, like I beleive 04 Cobras use, yes that makes a difference as well. But mose "Tours" are using straight water, not as effective.

Huh?
Water has 2.4 times the heat transfer ability as standard "green" antifreeze.
Straight water is preferred. Actually maybe throw in a bit of iso/polypropyl alcohol to raise efficiency and add a little protective additives. (Like a water wetter type additive package)
Antifreeze is just that. Anti-freezing additive with corrosion inhibitors added.
Old fashion "green" antifreeze even adds phosphates and silicates to the mix. NO THANK YOU!

I agree with adding the aclochol. What are the cobra/lightings using? Straight coolant, high mileage stuff. I haven't been able to examine one up close.
Now mix that water/aclchol, or better nitrous even Co2, and spray the I/C, you can make that air/air pretty effceient, if all other precautions are taking. Still prefer air/air, and not for bling factor.
