I'd say I use it 85% on the street and 15% on the drag strip. I've never actually been on a road racing course with it.

With that said, the overall quality of the kit is great. Fitment was perfect. If you compare this kit to the stock cooler, there is a HUGE difference.

Take a look at SETRAB P/N 50-634-7612. This is a highly efficient 12"x11"x2" unit. You'd have to do the brackets and fit the hoses yourself though as it is not a kit. This cooler should fit in the stock location. SETRAB is considered to be one of the best and was used by Robi on his race car when running in hot SoCal conditions. Although he used a slightly larger unit which was harder to fit.
