Allthough our unit is only a single row, it's still twice the thickness as the OE radiator + it comes with 15% more efficient tubes.
To make the unit a "drop-in fit" we could only make the unit a larger 1 row. Otherwise there would be a good amount of cutting to install a larger unit, and would most likely cut down our potential market base.
We've just given a unit to motoIQ.com to do a real-life before/after track test with temperature logging. The results should be published within a month.
We were also on Bullet's "White dragon", and dynoed at 990HP.
If you have a massive intercooler sucking in hot/warm air - then the warm air, which is now even hotter after going through the intercooler, has to go through the condenser and finally through the radiator (even hotter air) - you will need a radiator with a much larger capacity (at least large 2/3 rows) - there is no space for this in the vehicle without removing the condenser or major structural changes. To top it all off, the exit for air flow after the fans is very limited as well.
The temperatures of the middle east are an extreme case of vehicle cooling problems. I personally would not buy a 370Z in the middle east because there is not enough space/flow to fix the factory cooling issues. With that being said, our unit has had great success in many track and normal ambient temp settings.. even with cars with F.I.
