Re: Be Cool Radiator (97Supra)
I think i'm gonna buy one after my 383, or right before. They have worked well for people who have them. Yes theres a model for you, you just have to find it in an Ecklers, Summit-type catalog.

Re: Be Cool Radiator (97Supra)
I have a Custom Griffin in my 1992 coupe. Almost the same as the "BeCool". I had it made with 2 -1" rows so it would fit in the existing space.
Problems were, lower tank was the same thinkness, so I could not just drop it in the holder. Had to widen it a bit. Also the top was the same. Trans, (A/T) lines did not match the factory set up, had to change them around a bit.
As far as extra cooling. You really notice it in heavy traffic which is stop and go. I have a LT-1 and the temp hardly ever reaches 190 degrees with only the one fan going. If the second fan kicks in (193 degrees) the temp goes down to 180 degrees really fast. Freeway temp runs between 174-185 degrees, depend on the outside temp. ( 60's to 80's).

Re: Be Cool Radiator (Danah92LT-1)
Here's my BeCool vs stock
The white thing is the spacer to make it fit.
Love it! :D
Road raced it a NHIS
just ran an autocross with it in 80 degree weather.
3 drivers doing heats and it never saw 190.

Re: Be Cool Radiator (ASRoff)
Might take a look at the Griffin.
I bought one from Dewitt (supporting vendor) for similar price but mine is even bigger!
On the ZR1 board there was problems with the Be Cools failing from the LT5's water pressure, but the Griffin worked fine...sold me on it.
I'm sure either will work great.
I still don't have confirmed results...
