Need an aftermarket radiator that works Looks like we topped out the factory radiator.The temps won't go below 200 degree's while driving (210 with AC on).
Anybody try back to back on the SLP or Griffin?The car should be at 180- 185 degrees but the 402/blower setup won't let it

radiators Im using the griffin, and its always at 170 to 185, with the meziere and evans cool. The best cooling period is the g2 from lg motorsports, that will be my next one if i ever upgrade. A friend of mine has one and he had to block part of it off it ran so cool. The griffin took just over a week to get and they had to build it. My engine is smaller than yours but i can hit it repeatedly and it dont go over 185 or so unless its over 90 outside. On the highway it drops to 160 or so.

Either the Griffin or the LG will do you just fine. I run the LG and it keeps my temps below 190 at WOT at 170 mph for 5-10 minutes at a time in ORR. It also keeps my temps below 200 on hot days open tracking. The nice thing about the LG is the built in oil cooler which has never allowed oil temps above 240*f under any circumstance I've been in. Never above 200* on the street. The bad thing about the LG is the $$
