Mike,
Another thought on why you are doing fine on your stock radiator set-up compared to my radiator needs here in houston.......I know it gets hot in the summer in Missouri however in Houston the average summer day is in the mid to upper 90's with 90 percent humidity. Heat transfer devices do not work very efficent in these conditions. What I bought may seem like a little overkill, but better safe than sorry. I grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in North Texas. It gets darn hot there too, but the Humidity is on average about 40 percent. I have lived in Houston for twenty five years and have never got used to the summer weather down here!!!

Oh....Nate, Retirement, Whats that?!!!
