it all depends on what radiator you are talking about. intercooling, then yes. they do store the heat somewheres else. however the fact is that we need tremendous amount of cooling (largest factory fitted oil coolers) it is key that we have at least a radiator or two to cool things down. steady high rpm runs will kill an engine quick as it produces the most heat in this rpm range.
