Did they use a different car for the second test? The original test car was heavily modified (aero, engine stage 3 cams, head,....) and it had a massive engine failure due to some sort of calibration issue.
Obviously if a modified engine with more power doesn't overheat then stock will do even better.

No warranty, go figure...

Can you point out which parts in the pic are for brake cooling or is that a separate kit for more money? Will you be testing what kind of brake cooling performance is taking place over/under stock? Will there be a cheaper grill option in carbon flash metallic? Very interested in the kit.

If these kits are pricey, this will be a mistake. Guys tracking their cars will likely care far more about cooling results and cost than having an aesthetics-only carbon fiber grill insert. And many owners have painted carbon flash trim rather than visible carbon, so to those who value the aesthetics this part won't jive. It'll be a turn off to pay a large sum for this kit (particularly for aesthetics one doesn't need) only to then need additional paint work to match the car.

Smoke wands are hardly used these days in aero tunnels used by OEMs. They tend to monitor what they want either off the rolling floor or from models / the car itself.
Most aero work is vertual these days though. Even in F1 were they are limited to processing volumes (as its much quicker and cheaper) wind tunnels are only used to confirm what the computers are telling you.

Looks like a good volume of flow through the intercoolers and out the wheel wells.
