Default CSF radiator enough for GxxxxA supercharger on the track?

Hi all,

In the next week or so I am installing a GxxxxA (they who shall not be named) supercharger on my Z.

I currently have a CSF triple pass radiator, 34 row oil cooler, baffled high capacity oil pan and a vented hood. However I still have a concern about cooling on track days. Maybe I am just paranoid but I like keeping things as frosty as possible under.

I don't plan on any mid-summer track events and will likely only do 2 HPDE events per year, maybe 3. However I have been considering bumping up to the GxxxxA radiator and fan setup to placate the above mentioned paranoia.

Is there extra cooling to be had from their kit based on the design or real world experience? I read some old articles but couldn't find any reviews of FI cars on the track with either the CSF triple pass or GxxxxA radiators. I know the price of the GxxxxA kit is daunting but if it would give an extra 5-10 degrees, or better said maintain temps for an extra 5-10 minutes so I can finish a session comfortably, I am willing to pay the premium.

However if the forum consensus is that the CSF is just fine I have a list of mods that extra cash could go to.

Also I know some will be tempted to mention a more open front end but I'd really prefer to work with the factory front. I plan on pulling the grill out to help a bit. I prefer the factory look. Even the hood will only be fitted for track days.

Thanks!
