To be fair, the CSF isn't a re-labelled ATM as I've had both in hand examined both closely. ATM uses a single core where CSF's looks to be two cores (upper and lower). Also the ATM lower core has a higher fin density behind the front row of fins. That said, I absolutely believe it's a derivative of ATM's since all the dimensions and end tanks are practically identical (typically within 1mm).

If you want to have a retail channel IC sent to me, I have another track weekend coming up in Jan. and can compare on back to back days like I did in my ATM and Wagner Evo 2 Comp Comparison. Same track as that comparison too. A good metric to look at in addition to the charge air cooler temps is the average top speed on the straights there, as that directly relates to lap times.
