Would like to see cooler temps with it during an event but that's just me. As long as it doesn't overheat. I had a fluidyne for about 5 years until it sprung a leak. I blame it on the cooling additives because after it failed I replaced it with a stock unit as a temp until I could get another performance one. Filled it with one bottle of water wetter and water and in one weak it had a nasty leak. Bought a second new stock one. This time I filled it with 2 bottles of liquid ice from royal purple and water and again in one week it had a nasty leak. Bought a third new stock rad and this time only filled it with water and one bottle of water pump lubricant. Think I've had it around 8 months now with no issues. I plan to get another fluidyne in the future only this time no cooling additives. I'm convinced that they eat away at the inside of a rad and eventually leak. I searched around and found others who've had the same issue. I believe the fluidyne because of it's better construction and more material lasted longer then a stock unit when filled with cooling additives. It should've lasted much longer. Rad's are not supposed to go bad after only five years. There are cars with 15 year old and older rad's out there still going. A performance rad should've lasted even longer.</p></blockquote><p></p>
