I don't know if the rad fans will do anything when you're hitting track speeds but I think it would help in the paddock for cool down. My concern is that with ambient temps ~60F and you're hitting ~240F and have to turn the heater on, that when its 90F ambient you're going to see 270F which is the same issue I have with the dual cooler.
Someone tried to explain thermal dynamics to me at one point but too far out of my realm. From what I've observed in a practical sense there is a direct correlation between a change in ambient temp and a change in oil temp when you're running at full tilt with the dual cooler.
As far as the hood vents go I was reading one of Varus threads on their implementation and they did not observe a decrease in engine temp, the real advantage was some external engine components such as coils were at lower temps which might lead to longer life, and reduced hood flutter. I would think decreased heatsoak as well but I always prop my hood after a session. Ref:
