Can you weigh it before it gets installed. I'm considering this or PWR.

I'm not sure if you already have it, but I weighed the PWR Track Spec radiator at 16.2lbs, with the OE radiator weighing 9.6lbs.

Is the PWR twice the thickness of oem?

For VIR with TSCC how difficult would it be to move up to intermediate? How many days on track should I really have for that? I'll be at 6 days at that point?
Reason I'm asking is to possibly take advantage of the Friday on track as well which doesn't appear available to novice. At least it wasn't last memorial Day event.

It's close - the factory radiator core is around 1" thick whereas the PWR track spec core thickness looks to be around 1.75" (can't get an exact measurement from the bottom and the car is up in the air lol), and the end tanks are aluminum as well on the PWR instead of the OEM plastic.

You are likely fine as intermediate with 6 track days. I took my time going int, I think was at 6 days I went int, maybe was 5 but I wanted to take advantage of the free instructors. Then I did int cuz there are some clubs here that have days that are int + only and I wanted to attend those days. That said I am not sure how you drive lol so can’t say.
I will be in intermediate if I go, I probably could go up a group based on how many track days I have but being a track I never been I much rather be in just intermediate, maybe if I channel my best Alonso on Sat I might try to move up for Sunday (highly doubt it though)
