Oh the joys of adding heat, of any kind. FI or NA.

OEM radiators have their airflow impeded from the factory to begin with via the A/C Condenser. We could all improve the functionality of our radiators by removing that!

Other options: larger radiator, aluminum radiator, radiator shrouding to increase air flowing through it, high flow fans, reduction of glycol in coolant mixture, etc etc etc.
