Cooling Opinions!

[KidKourier]

      Went to my local radiator shop to see about heating problems when running air conditioning(He's a gearhead with a couple of hotrds).He said he could build a custom copper/brass 4 core radiator + 2 electric fans(1-pusher with toggle switch for low speed cruising & 1-puller with temp control) all installed for a little over $700! Or I could go with a Griffin Aluminum radaitor for $560 + 2 -18" electric fans(same as above) for about another$150 ! I only want to do this once so all opinions/insite will be helpful!!!    KID

His 4 core is probably the smaller tubes. I just ordered my Griffin today.  the longer narrower tubes have better cooling, with more surface area.

I would go with Only puller Fans, the one in front is only gonna restrict flow.  run them with something like a spal switch, that istemp operated.

Aluminum radiators are hard to repair

Kid,
   Look up the past posts on radiators. With 300 hp 390ci, my Griffin won't let the temp go over 180-200 degrees no matter what the temp outside or the amount of idling I do. I run a 6 blade AC fan, 1/2" from the radiator with no heat schroad. remember the more btu's you use the more cooling capacity you need. Jim
