Thumbs up Better Cooling?

Aloha all, I have a buddy with a 1999 Fbod and he's looking for some ways to improve his cooling system after installing a Procharger.....can anyone point me in the right direction? Cost is not a big factor.

Thanks, Dave

I like the Fluidyne radiators or the Ron Davis radiators on a budget get a Be Cool they are nice also for the money and what he said above about the fans and such.

Ron Davis radiators are VERY nice, I installed several on some Corvette's, VERY well built peice. I had almost forgot about them since it's been a while since I did one. I didn't know they made LS1 radiators for the F-body. Do you know a link to get one?

I have a HUGE road racing radiator I got from LG Motorsports. It's has a built in engine oil cooler.

It's a really nice unit ... Flogging the crap out of the motor on 100* Texas days, the engine temps see around 205-215 peak ... mostly it's between 180-190, via an Autometer guage with the sender at the water pump outlet.
