apprently there better than the old radiator ones i gues if you look into it in theory they would be as the alloy dissipates heat better and the fins go inside as well so i reckn they will

i am going to have 2 one for the motor and one for the gearbox that one is a 20 inch one and is bigger than i thought hahaha

check out his ebay site has some good stuff and delivery is excellent
