RE: Polling on your best cooling experience; OEM copper radiators and cl

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gary, for my 2cents I was having alot of cooling issues with several 
stock type radiators including one from a 383 A/C Barracuda. I'm sure 
part of my problem was the state of tune. However I got a Summit 
crossflow radiator #SUM-381425 for $189. I spent another $90 at the 
radiator shop and got it customized some. It cools waaay better. If it 
gets hot at the drags all I have to do is drive it thru the pits once 
and it cools down. I do believe I'll need a shroud or preferably an 
electric fan set-up. I think it's a much better bargain than the BeKool 
$800 set-up.
