Here a couple pictures of my larger S/C radiator. Installation was not direct bolt-on...needed some modifications to the car ( X308 XJR ). The radiator is a bit over 2" thick.

I think bigger SC radiator is much more an insurance than a part which makes/allows more power. Maybe if you have 100F it's possible to feel smaller power lost, but this should be compared before and after installation. Otherwise quite hard see any difference.

Agreed. Do you have a temp gauge that allows you to see that it is working better (holding temps better?) I guess that is more of what I was asking vs performance improvements.

I have no temp gauge installed. Not a bad idea to have it.
