I understand my car isn't a race car. But the stock 5.0L radiator isn't enough to handle what I put my car through. I removed things from under the hood that could possible trap heat in the car or improve airflow. After looking into the Boss 302S Grill and how open it is, I was able to find a track buddy with one that he will sell to me cheap.

Granted I normally run events that only go 20 minutes at a time, but this extra 10 minutes make a big difference on the car. I am not trying to build a forced induction car that can run endurance racing, but dissipating heat over time is something my engine will benefit from in the short and long term.

The boss 302 radiator is nice. Probally should have gotten the track pack. A vented hood would help more then you can imagine.
