I don't think there are many non-AC cars in So Cal, but even with having the AC and not running it while racing I don't see the condenser as creating a huge air flow restriction causing the over heating issue.
What I do see as a problem is the lack of radiator size for a track like the roval, you are constantly on the throttle and with the high ambient temps is a recipe for disaster, I haven't taken a look yet to see how much bigger we could go but I have a feeling I'll be upgrading that part of the car once I go with some top end mods.
I know one thing I do not like is the pusher fan in place of the dual puller fans then non-z28 models have. I know this is due to the placement of the dry sump tank, but we could probably swap out the dry sump tank for something smaller thats aftermarket and go back to a dual puller fan setup.
