I think I read in their build info that they were using an oil to water cooler, hence allowing the radiator to do most of the work. Not sure if that was a supplement to an oil to air cooler or if that was the only cooling mechanism.
how many rows is yours? I hope it was the only cooler they were running, that way they can add a nice oil cooler to the mix. The oil to water system is nice for mild to medium, DD, track time, but for a race applications its just not enough plus given the oil temps issues with the 370Z....the 350Z had a similar oil to water system that was really effective
