so far i've just been running 1/4's and nccc autox, so it doesn't get too hot.

Re: Major over heating problems (L98Terror)
I just got through installing a BeCOOL unit, it's about twice the thickness of the old unit, and no stupid plastic side tanks to explode :mad
It fit the stock shrowd. I just need to cut to rubber mounts.
THE best I've heard is from fluidyne. All the top NASCAR teams us 'em
You should also upgrade your oil cooler.
Us LT1 owners need to install one! :mad

Re: Major over heating problems (L98Terror)
What size specification do i need to order? I dont feel like paying the ungodly price of a corvette specific one. I just want a universal one that i can make fit and since i have a tranny cooler i dont need the lines in the radiator. You should only pay 200-300 for a nice universal, but someones gotta know the right size

Re: Major over heating problems (BrianCunningham)
Just to add if you run you waterpump at high RPM it can cavitate.
You L98 guys can run and underdrive pulley setup, just make sure you're not spinning it too slow or it will overheat in traffic.
Me I'm looking into an electric, dropped Meziere an email to see if they flow enough for road courses.
Also, have you tried water wetter??
