For sure I agree, but my cooling issues are specific to a low speeds and high revs combination, when the fans are doing the heavy lifting (which is also why I added the second oil cooler with fans). I dont really have any cooling issues in other circumstances.

In reality it adds an extra %20 surface area, and as it is a %30 thicker core, probably a little more.
The lines run protected along side the brake lines (under the underbody cover), then skirt around the bottom of the wheel well, but behind the damper, then into the rear cover.
I will be making a small alloy shield for the small portion where they enter the under body cover along side the brake lines.
