Been very happy with mine. Very compact, very very light. My turbo car stayed under 215* on a 20-minute session at nearly 300whp on track with it being 80* out. Since then I added Singular hood louvers, stays under 210*.
Haven't tried it in real hot temps yet, but very happy so far.

Edit: To answer my own question. Yes
Does this need stock mounting brackets for NA?

Emilio - do you know the limits of this radiator? Is it adequate for a 400whp turbo car with hood vents and ducting for 20 minute hard track sessions? I know on your site it only mentions around 300whp. Being only 31mm thick I wonder at what point you would need a dual core?

FWIW My Supermiata crossflow radiator developed a persistent leak in the past 1000 miles that I thought was coming from the bottom hose, then drain plugs.
I finally had it pressure tested at a radiator shop and they found multiple leaks at the welds/brazes between the endtanks and the core.
I'm at 2/3 CSF-built radiators having failed on me. One was bad out of the box, this one failed after ~5500 miles and 6 HPDEs.

That being said, I already ordered a replacement, as the performance vs price is still unbeatable, as is 949/Supermiata customer service.

We appreciate the positive feedback on our end. The point is, after 4.5 years it's not necessarily a reflection of build quality of the CSF part. So many things can happen in that time to compromise the part, even in just a few HPDE's. Regardless, thanks for your continued patronage

Doesn't hurt. On all our cars we simply use distilled water, a bit of water wetter and about a pint of antifreeze for corrosion protection. Unlike the average streetcar which does not get its coolant replaced for years at a time, we flush the radiator out two or three times a year in our track cars.
