HELP. Desperation, last resort before scrapping Project 16v.

Yeah...you've spotted the issue. 

Once it gets hot. It's heat soaked. Give it sometime to cool and the radiator has a ''reserve' of cooler water to fire into the engine the first time the stat opens...

So one hard pull and it's fine... But keep repeating and it can't do anything...

The radiator is not the issue... I think air flow is. Look how fast it drops when I'm not moving but got fans on...

Plus... Not sure if you have seen the radiator... But it's not shy.

Secondary issue...

I can't KEEP pushing ... It's an EGT thing. So when temps are rising at some point, either because traffic/tree/death/EGTs... I have to back off... But the temps are not dropping like they should at high speed, even though it's 'only' at 90... With a rad the size of mine, the difference between top and bottom rad pipe at speed should be, well, massive.

So...

To test, I'm going to remove the intercooler and try same situations...
Wishes for more power...
