[QUOTE="CSCOBRA03, post: 16978146, member: 8101"] Cooling on terminators can be an issue for sure. I made a few mistakes with the cooling system upgrades. Here is what I currently run now and it works well for 25 min track sessions. I now run the stock terminator radiator which I sealed off so air must travel through it and for track days I change out my hood to a modified V-6 hood with a big vent in it. I have a video of the hood mod. My car never gets over 235 degrees even when it's 100 degrees at the track. The big mistake I made was a three row aluminum radiator. I didn't understand about heat transfer. Air must pass through the radiator, and a thick radiator in a Terminator won't get adequate air flow too cool. If you use a 3 row radiator you would need a larger cooling fan (more com) that's properly shrouded. The front opening on a terminator doesn't have the opening to support the airflow needed. Ford spent a ton of engineering time on the 2020 GT-500 to create the airflow needed to cool that beast. I hope that helps answer your question. [/QUOTE]
