    Do you guys think the stock grill or a satoshi style mesh grill allows for more air flow?

    I honestly think the stock 12+ grill is more restrictive than previous years. I think the pro style grill would flow better. Maybe a satoshi style depending on the style you pick.

    The very fine diamond mesh, allows the most. Next to no grill.

    Yes, but would an external air to oil cooler not benefit? I’ve seen a supercharged xrunner that has one. I suppose I could add an extra trans cooler and an oil cooler, but space might be hard to work around, and trying not to impede the airflow to the ac condensor and main radiator might be a problem I run into.

    The thing that gets me is some people have no problem with the stock setup running hot in hotter climates. I am sure now that I have a smaller pulley that isn’t going to help my issue at all either.

    I don’t have to worry about freezing in my area so I am wondering if I switch my coolant to maybe a 70% water mixture or maybe even 100% water with water wetter if that will help. I still think there is an issue that I shouldn’t have to do either of those.
