Default Need a Racing radiator, WHICH ONE? Cooling mods?

I did not find this by doing a search so I'll go ahead and ask. Anyone has opinions on what radiator will keep my LS1 cooler. The car will be for Road racing only so I need the best cooling mods since its really hot here. I only have HPP3 and 160 Thermostat. Any more ideas.

Thanks

Jay

www.slponline.com

SLP sells a LS1 radiator for increased cooling capacity. You can always run water with Water Wetter too, that seems to help sometimes. Also, SLP has a "fan switch" that allows you to turn both fans on at the flip of a switch, same site.

Royal Purple makes an additive too.

If you cut back to 70/30 or even 80/20 water/dexcool ratio, your cooling will improve and your boiling point will remain high enough.

Have you removed your A/C?

Is anyone running one of the SLP radiators? How is the difference from stock as far as cooling is concerned?

oh yeah none of the plastic ends like on the SLP. Those are no better than stock IMO. The C&R are beautifully welded aluminum <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
