Ummm, no. The stock Vortech radiator is a small radiator. Somewhat similar to the small radiator you might get with an oil cooler, minus the oil.

How well does a front mount work on the comptech? I've been looking at doing this while my comptech is being installed. I havent read too much on it so I was needing some advise from you guys thanks...

The Spearco type of front mount will not improve on what is already a very good stock system. It's more for the "bling". Perhaps during hard driving, the extra large cooling surfaces afforded by the front mount "might" help to keep intake temps a bit lower. Having said that, both the stock Comptech and Vortech radiators work amazingly well.

I doubt it. More boost will equal more heat. To remove more heat, you'd need more coolant volume and more heat transfer fins. We know there is LESS coolant volume, so this can't contribute to any benefit. Now, is there more heat transfer surface area? One would have to count them all and measure the total square area of it and I haven't done that.
