Thoughts on supplemental cooling for a 991
Hi guys,
I've owned a 2013 991 4S for about a year and have been having a blast with it. I've participated in several AX events and have access to a short track (much like an AX track) where I can drive 1-2 times a week. Later this year I'd like to step up to a DE event. I live in Southern California. With summer here, I've been thinking about possible cooling upgrades. I don't think I need them for AX, but they might come in handy for DE's. Just looking for thoughts and opinions. I am considering:
1. Adding the third center radiator
2. Adding a supplemental cooler for the PDK
3. Hi temp brake fluid (seems like cheap insurance)
Your thoughts?

Third radiator is a relatively cheap upgrade. The GTS and all X-51 cars come that way. I believe it helps w PDK cooling too. The brake fluid upgrade is a no brainer next time you do a brake fluid flush! It only costs a little more. Consider slightly better (harder) brake pads too. OEM will wear fast at a DE!

Hi temp brake fluid: 100%, do it. No brainer.
