pics of the 4 core Koyo, never heard of it and would like to see how you got something like that to fit.

Have you tried ALL of the suggested procedures that was covered in that thread?

get rid of the hood risers, they are not good for higher speeds. Low pressure from the top of the hood circulated under the back of the hood and keeps hot air in under higher speeds. Low traffic speeds its great, such as autox events.

Are your fans pushers or pullers? if they are pullers try not using them when on the highway, they might cause restriction (hence the air running through the front is faster than the fans can pull it off)
