Default Bigger Radix heat exchanger??????

My radix kit will be on its way soon, and looking at the pictures it looks like the heat exchanger is just a small tranny cooler. Anyone installed a larger one or had any problems running a 9psi pully with high IAT's?

Someone bought one for a Cadillac CTS-V from Magnacharger and put it on their truck. If I remember correctly it was right at double the size of the one for the truck kits.

Turbogibbs just used a small radiator and plumbed it up and it worked awesome I forget how much it dropped the IATs exactly but I remember it allowed him 4 more *s of timing.

I think thunder550 used 2 radix ones plummed together. Maybe he'll chime in and let us know how it worked.
