When I purchased my convertible it had a 3 core rad and was missing the lower baffle. I upgraded to a 4 core and got a lower baffle. The only change was the temp remained more constant. I will be trying the trick of making the gap between the water pump impeller and the divider lesser. I will also be trying a factory 7 blade (GTO) flex fan to replace the factory 5 blade fan.

It's a great color for up north here but if I lived in the hot South I think it would get blistering hot!
I get more reactions from gals liking the triple black more than the guys. I saw one gal get weak in the knees when she saw me driving around up at PIB. I like black to, but hate to take care of it. If mine were Starlight Black and not its custom black/blue metal flake I'd be tempted to leave it.
With black you're constantly cleaning and dusting . Red is another color you have to care for; it does oxidize and turns pink.
