FFT.
that's because the base kit does not include an intercooler. or rather an aftercooler in this application. obviously that is a concern on and of itself. if the buyer ops for an intercooler you will have a heat exchanger in front of the radiator as well so you have the same problem with the radiator not getting enough air flow. what you need is a more efficient rad that is designed to work with low air flow like a copper radiator with efficient fin design
