The only thing I would make sure you do is buy the more expensive kit and install the new alloy engine rad as the thermal dynamics are so much better than the standard one.
Ade,
I 100% agree with your note. The additional heat exchanger and converting over the oil coolers to help is not needed. The Proalloy set-up (new radiator / new intercooler heat sink / new intercooler) should be more than sufficient. While the Ronin / Frank solution is technically pretty cool, IMHO it is overkill. I'd really like to see the temperature drop of water / coolant across the last heat sink. I bet the drop is not that signficant and thus the benefit not as great. There has to be a point of diminishing returns.
