The extra thermal mass and weight of bar and plate is a two-edged sword.
Good: If it is already cool, it takes longer to heat up than tube fin. That’s an advantage if you’re doing a few highway passes, drag race, etc.
Bad: Once it gets hot it takes longer to cool off than tube fin. That’s a disadvantage any time you’re in a constant on/off heat generation scenario such as circuit racing. And a bar plate def performs worse in the kind of stop go traffic we have around here where you can sit still for 10min. Any cooled thermal mass in a bar plate will be long gone and then will perform worse than tube fin which will cool off much quicker once the car moves and air starts to flow.
If the Evo3 is large enough to dissipate heat for someone’s particular use, it will be better for circuit racing than bar plate, as it will cool off faster bn on/off WOT applications, albeit it is more expensive.
