Default Eastwood tri-flow radiator

Has anyone used one of these radiators? I like the concept of what they have done, just looking for feed back. Thanks

Weird. Why the big concern about "coolant flow rate" when the radiator outlet is cooler? Isn't that the only point?

I know better radiators are dual flow. But that puts the inlet & outlet on the same side. Triple flow fixes that.

I don't see the need for it. The BeCool radiator cured my overheating issues-and it's single pass. And it's a direct bolt-in.

People need to spend money, and therefore products must be offered.

The argument of flow vs temp drop is that if the flow requirements of the engine exceed the flow rate of the radiator during the test then the temp drop of the three passes will not be any more than it would have been with another radiator of the same flow rate and same efficiency regardless of number of passes.

This radiator is a gimmick. I've never run anything more than a dual core single pass radiator in any of my cars, and I have had some high power road course type cars.

One thing I've found over the years. Every 'rod I ever built with a brass radiator was an overheating POS. Since I went to aluminum radiators, I've never overheated anything. I've had single passes for the most part, but a dual pass in the Mav. Mostly to get the outlets on the same side...
