Ya got cooling problems, winter is a funny time to find one if yes.
Sorry I should of specified

my car is summer only, it’s already been store for 3 months in garage. Will come out in 3 more months

this was summertime. The guage cluster can go from green to yellow,Itl go back to green but have to go easy.

I figure since I’m base ecoboost radiator an upgrade isn’t bad idea.

found a chart on mishimoto showing base/perf pack ecoboost radiator stats

so in theoryI have cooling of 384, I get the csf should Atleast match the cooling of perf pack ecoboost radiator of 552

it’s single row too. Would csf double row yield much more cooling? Prob twice the cooling of my current rad

to be honest my current rad is proably Just fine, it’s been fine 27k lol but ya know how it goes.

Would going from base ecoboost rad to csf be worrhwhile?

Oh I get the thinking, a coin toss for sure. The readings, in heavy slow moving traffic?

I took it out like two days, that was to get my new wheels installed and again for new tread it needed, I’m sure you saw photos. I kinda posted em everywhere

but man!The turbo rips so hard in 0-30* temps, it pulls hard but it rips quite a bit harder. Was fun

I don’t drive winter due to salt and brine on roads, it has a tendency to do bad things to cars

my winter car loves salt, it’s basically a salted margarita or pretzel. Giant chunks of salt literally stick to it like a pretzel.

I don’t really “need” a radiator, but I’ve literally upgraded every other piece on car, full suspension, braking, engine, tune, exhaust, the last thing is stock radiator, I even have aftermarket inyercooler

the fact that I did get into yellow when playing on dash did make me consider a new radiator but didn’t feel need

but now it’s winter and im
Bored so...

So, the empty space below the base sync system was bothering me, so I came up with something to fill it using my 3d printer...

Not sure what I think...
Have you thought of paint filling the recessed area of the badge with NFG ... ? :sunglasses:

Depending what shift knob you have, consider doing that at the same time :like:

Funny you mention that, I have a black and white “rally” type knob with a white GT logo on the side coming in any day now; maybe white? Maybe I’ll print out another, try both...
