Another advantage would be the change in aerodynamics, no radiator means you can close up the front of the car/truck. The engine could be smaller since it wont need water jackets.
This will be cool to watch and see what becomes of it.
don't forget that if it is implemented in a forced induction engine the whole setup could work dual-duty as a water injection system as well... this would allow for lower octane fuel to be an alternative option in even high horsepower cars.
