Thumbs up Seeing is believing !!! PTS Xtreme RADIATOR !!!

I just can't believe this my car is running 30 DEGREES Cooler AND it's 30 DEGREES Hotter from where I was over my stock Radiator.I made Two 1/8 mile + passes and The car the Hottest I could get it was 170 Degrees.This was by far the best 500 I ever spent on a car ever !!! This RADIATOR came from Bruce Toelle @ PTS Xtreme in California.

I ran a 5/8" tube three row copper brass radiator w/o the tranny cooler to under 170* in 90* + temps. Used the dual Ramcharger fans, external tranny cooler with cooling fan, and trans temps never ran above 185* after a hard run. I ran a FM IC and used the factory cooling circuit to run this set-up. I'm improving this on my next project car, 86TType. Tranny oil heat does heat the coolant temp a lot. This idea came from a BB Buick Car that only ran an external trans cooler. A lot of different ways to accomplish better cooling. Gene
