It's more plumbing, more weight, more potential for leaks, etc. There are lots of 2.7s w/ Tip S operating perfectly fine in really hot climates (AZ, CA, TX, FL) which are getting along just fine without a 3rd radiator.

I agree with you but I just wanted to know what Jake had to say on the subject as I saw mention of it on his site. My car has never gone over just a bit above 180 no matter what the temp or how hard I pushed it. Thanks for the good advice. Also thanks to Jake for clarifying the need for the radiator on a track car and not the street. Good site this one, lots of good info and I think we are all lucky Jake has joined up and is working on these problem engines.
