Sure, what pics do you need exactly. I have YouTube videos where radiator cover is off. But if you need me to take close up pics I can.
Shoot the YouTube link, if it’s with the rad cover off it’s prolly what I’m curious about

Thanks-

I was putting an air filter on the supercharger and recorded it.

Has a several minutes minus the cover starting at 17 seconds in.

I do not track the car even though I have a full BMR suspension. Not sure what CHT is, sorry.
cylinder head temp…the one that seems to be relied on more than others 😉

Ah...got you.

11:00 in that video I posted above,. I do a small rip while recording the dash. Cylinder head temp is shown.

I have a base GT, everything I’m hearing is the PP radiator is a massive step up and there are some aftermarket (most?) that are massive step up from the PP one. Everyone also says heat is a major issue with Mustangs on the track, which I will do sometimes. Is it a non-issue on “pseudo-aggressive” street driving? I live in SoCal and it gets HOT where I’m at.
If anyone wants a PP radiator brand new hit me up.

Do you think the issue you’re having in the video wouldn’t have been a problem with a PP radiator? Also, do you think your temps are significantly lower because of the radiator you have over the PP radiator?

That filter is very restrictive but even worse when they get hot they start to fall apart, I've seen them suck the chrome piece in the cap into the blower before. If you really must use that small of a filter I'd recommend getting a USA made K&N or S&B.

Install a cylinder head rear cooling mod like this one. One that has a T right in the middle and returns the water to the upper radiator hose. This way, the water can flow out of the back of the heads and into the radiator hose. rather than just connecting one head to the other, which doesn’t really do much. This will help keep cylinder head temps down and consistent

Burger motorsports makes arguably one of the best air filters for this - 4” in two different heights filters
They use them for single turbo applications and majority of guys like them, me included

I've tried. I don't have the room. Vibrant sent over 3 Turbo filters, didn't fit. I bought 2 turbo K&N Filters, didn't fit. I only have 2.5" inches. At one point I had a dozen filters all at once. I have a Bellmouth that I use in the winter but in the summer I need a filter. I put about 900 miles per year on the car too so it's not a daily. I take that filter off every other month to check it. Just cleaned it two weeks ago.
