The Vegas heat is much worse than you think. Highs during the summer are 110-115. The asphalt is closer to 180. Sitting in traffic will cause a lot of heat soak alone. No it won't go into limp mode in traffic, but I might be able to just romp on it once or twice and it will be outside of recommended operating temps. Yes a 25 or 34 row will be okay, but maybe I'm a bit overzealous. A $70 difference to get this kit is definitely a good deal. There is still enough surface area on the radiator to maintain good temps on your water, don't let them sway your decision if it's what you want.
