Default DeWitts Radiator

For those looking to reduce coolant and oil temps, this is a good answer.

I have 450RWHP getting ready to do a 403.

Coolant temps run constant 195/200 with stock radiator. Oil temp with no cooler runs at 215/220, 290 at the track. This is with a 175 stat and fans reprogrammed.

Now with a DeWitt with oil cooler. Oil and coolant temp warms to 175 super fast. Coolant never left 190 mark. Here's the good part, oil temp is at 200 after a 65 mile test run. One high speed run temp peaked at 220.

Did you combine that with Dewitts high flow fans and shroud?

That seemed to yield the greatest results for us. Not to say your not good where you are at
