    Order it up. Once you have both to look at you can make a decision and sell off the other.

    What made you go with this over the CSF? I mainly went as it seemed to be the only option but AFE always makes nice stuff.

    Thanks for being the guinea pig on this.
    Hopefully the upper cowling cooling cover fits on like OEM too vs CSF which requires a gap/zip ties or drilling new mounting holes in the core support.

    I'll be sure to follow up with you guys here. They have given me an expected ship date around the 1st of the year, so it's still a little ways out.

    Does anyone in here have any experience with Motorad quality as far as thermostats go? Ordered a 170* for my 4banger and its made by Motorad. Curious what the quality is like before i install. Will also likely test it in water to ensure it opens at the correct temp
