Hi Chris,

Wind tunnel testing with instrumentation would show you when thicker and or fin density collide. Aftermarket likely can't test in a windtunnel....too expensive.

Well after switching to back to an OEM Radiator today with my E Fan Conversion from the CSF Radiator, I found much better air flow with the OEM Radiator. I don't have the CFM or wind tunnel data, but it is a noticeable difference
