Looks like they could use a bit better exhaust gasket for sealing. When the boost (and back pressure) got to high levels, you could see the flames out from under the manifold bracket area. Don't think I would want to be standing around when that thing was at full tilt boogie. Lets see 3 cubic inch/HP = 1664 *3 = 4992 cubic inch radiator Lets say it was 24" high and 48" long - a somewhat larger core than we normally use for our two rotors {:>). Then 4992 / (24*48) = 4.33 inches thick. A huge chunk of cooling for sure.
