sure. look at the fluid flow compairson chart below.

if a 1 inch rock were to strike both the stock radiator and a turn flow type radiator, the "statistical" chance of the rock striking a leak in the downflow radiator is higher than the turn flow. That's all I'm saying.

Water temps wont drop. That is based on the thermostat, what the radiator does is keep the temperatures more constant when under high load and racing. The engine heats up a lot. But because the radiator can deliever MORE COOLER water it is able to more easily maintain the temperature

Actaully Spoon is made by Tabata and their N1 model is equilvelant to the Tabata TR349 which S2fire is running on this board. The price for the TR349 cost a lot cheaper compare to Spoon N1.

If you need help for getting one, please PM me
