Radiator help
I need some feed back from those of you that have changed your water cooling radiators to a larger after market one and if you have noticed any big difference in cooling degrees , I am looking at these models BE COOL , DEWITT, also EcKLER'S has one and so does WEST COAST CORVETTE they all say they run about 20 to 40 percent cooler any input would be great. Thank you

I changed mines out because one of the small hose barbs broke and I didn't want to just glue it back. It was just a good time to upgrade.
I like the quality of DeWitts and I have used Be Cool on other cars before. I have good experiences with both brands, but in all honesty I don't think you really need it unless you have a heavily modified car or you race. If you want the car to run cooler, change the setpoint where the fan comes on. The default setting is around 220 degrees.

West Coast and Eckler's both sell our radiator. You could buy it from them or us direct. You will experience 20-40 % better cooling. The radiator is twice as thick as your stock radiator and it has full welded press formed aluminum tanks. No more plastic tanks.
