Default Radiator for 350 WHP Track Miata

What size radiator are the higher horsepower Miata guys running for track use. My set up is a 1.9 liter with a 3071 running on E85. I have an oversized KOYO but my temperatures where still a little high (210) for my liking. I already have a hood vent and I know I need to do a better job with ducting on the bottom of the radiator but will this be enough or do I need something bigger? Suggestions? Thanks

The Trackspeed Engineering radiator is what you want, but really you need to have proper ducting.

If you can wait until the end of June and have an NA, this is your best option.

Do you already have a coolant re-route?

Yup, we'll need to know if it's an NB or NA.

Edit: Looking back, you have an '05 MSM? Is TSE's NB radiator out yet?

NB radiators will follow the NAs by about 2 months.

Theseus is/was 350whp and uses a TSE radiator. Temps are ~205-215*F in 100*F heat. Ducting is still key, but at those power levels you need as much radiator as you possibly can get.

My Miata is a 94. I have the coolant re route done. Does anyone have diagrams or photos of some good ducting"? Thanks
