Eric, I agree about the amount of coil suscepted to air flow. There is some cooling to be had from simply running coolant through the coil even if the coil is shrouded (more of a heat sink effect) but nothing that matters much.

I wish I knew how much difference it would make. I recently was working on a 90's Saturn and it took 20-30 min of idleing before the fan even came on. When it did it was only for a short time. It was like it had a very large radiator and it cooled even without the airflow.
There is another alum rad I have seen made by Superior and it has 360 sq in of surface area. 4% less than the MM, 15.6% less than the Fluidyne. I have seen these go for less than the MM.
I'm going to the Mustang Roundup in Bellevue on Sunday July 15th
http://www.countyradiator.com/fluidyne/ford.html $367Do you own both radiators? I'm trying to figure out if it's as thick/deep as a fluidyne.. I need to get a good radiator to cool my Cobra on the roadcourse, and am getting ready to drop the $380 on a fluidyne unless someone can post up measurements and temp differences.
anyone know the answer to this?and is there any weight savings with these, or are stock radiators also aluminum?
anyone know the answer to this?

So far this looks like the best deal for the MM $185 shipped from KTeller.com.
Is anyone looking into a group buy on it or the Fluidyne?
Hello Mike. I just talked to you on the phone not too long ago. Thank you for the fast response.
Eric
thanks for posting up, Mike!
i'm definately going to keep an eye out for the group buy!
Once it's kosher on this side, I can just make a sticky thread temporarily, for the duration of the purchases. Interested parties jump on board. A window of time is set in place for accepting orders. Once the "class" of interested parties orders their products, that group buy is officially over.so how do we go about getting a group buy on the MM piece?
I'm all ears.For the group buy, I would not say another word without getting an admin involved (Tim would be my go-to guy). Or maybe Paul can help (I think it has to be admin but I could very well be wrong). I cant remember the rules on group buys but I remember it being a touchy subject in the past (I can't remember why though).
Mike, please advise of your interests in supporting the community any time. Here is a page that supplies the pertinent regarding this matter:Hello Forum, Thank you to those who have ordered from us and have posted online. I am in the process of contact the forum about sponorship so that i can abid by all their rules and not step on any toes. In the mean time while that is being worked out, if a group of members would like to do a group buy. I will be more then glad to host one. At this time, you will need to call our office untill i can agree and setup something formal on this forum. If a member want to take this in their own hands, ill be happy to talk to them about it.

On May 29th, Mishimoto launched their new sponorshp with Mike Roush's mustang. Since this time the stock of radiators we held nationwide went pretty quick. They currently are on a nationwide backorder for roughly 21-28 days. This would be a great time to get a group buy together.
