I've now sold the speedster and never got round to monitoring temps properly (just fitted a K type prope into the intake for a few days). To be honest it had more than enough power so I wasn't trying to get any more out of it.
I only used a small amount of antifreeze in the chargecooler and used the original Subaru rad and pump.
The way it was the air/air didn't get any flow so I changed more to protect the engine than anything. There was so much power that a difference wouldn't be that noticable!

It was amazing how the chassis performed. It had no right beign that good, but I suppose lack of weight and what weight there was was nice and low, plenty of people were amazed by how well it gripped and the progressive handling.

If you want to shift quickly I wouldn't go for the 915, it's renowned in Porsche circles for liking a steady shift. Although you can go for race style synchro rings...

Hope this helps...
Rich
