Radiator Suggestions?
Our first test day yesterday on a new-to-me 997.2. Mid 80's ambient temp and light (read slow) testing session resulted in 237 degree engine oil temps (water was 210). An experienced shop owner recommended PWR radiators as it appears the ones on the car are stock. The car is now based at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, Texas, so will regularly see a hotter climate than the car experienced in California.
Any thoughts on the PWR's? What about CSF, or other options? Also, would love any other ideas why temps might be so high.
This is my first cup car, so thank you all in advance for your patience in what will be many newbie questions to come.

Radiators get dirty and the fins bent from debris. CSF from demonspeed would be my recommendation. I “detail” mine every winter straightening the bent area. Takes a couple of hours anyway. Water temps are not high enough for those oil temps I think.
