Honestly I'm injured (ruptured a ligament in my wrist in march, still healing) ,so i didn't run as many laps as i usually do but it was a super humid and hot day. I've done quite a few lap days where I've pushed harder and it only happened once before.
It wasn't serious enough where it boiled over to the point i had air bubbles in the system, i had zero issues with power steering but it was a tad messy and i figure for a few hundred why not just solve this problem forever.
My car is a pretty handling focused build so far so i do push her quite hard into the corners i guess lol

My car is set up for grip as well, basically zero power mods. All handling and braking.

In all honesty even if you consider it cheap, it's not such a big unit overall meaning that universal cooler might do the job as well at 1/4 of the price of the Stillen.

The price and installation are non factors, I’m just trying to stick to my plan of upgrading parts as necessary.

Another hesitation I have is adding another cooler in front of the radiator. I’ve already lost a lot of direct air flow due to my 34 row oil cooler and Z1 intake filters

Sorry man, I don't know why I do that. I mean, I'm not wrong, but I could also just STFU about little stuff like that.
The shape of the cover is such that it can be off by a few degrees and you'd probably never notice. The problem is the text in the center circle. It creates a sight line which is obviously not parallel to the nearest other straight line, which is the overflow bin. Maybe if you remove the center decal, or remove it and reapply it? IDK. Again, sorry.

Constructive criticism is never a bad thing, it keeps us on our toes lol

Believe me, they felt about that much. The Sparcos aren’t carbon or anything so they feel about 40 lbs each with the bracket and slider, so I probably shaved about 80 something pounds total. Now I can eat all the cake I want and I’ll just be back at stock.
