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




BeKool is way overpriced for what you get, sometimes I think a stock radiator works better than theirs.

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.

Wow, just read Tech Topics in the new (Feb 2010) MoPar Action and your
question was partially answered very well + more.  Basically get rid of
full
shrouds and replace with a Stock Viper (Late) or a 98 Grand Cherokee 360
shroud & fan assembly.  It states they have serious fans and vent flaps
for
high speed driving.   The owner says it fixed his heating problems & it
took
.26 off his ET?  The article also goes onto diagnose a problem with
pressure
in the system caused by galvanic corrosion 3 days after the engine has
cooled down.

Just checking with the group to see if the touted aluminum radiators
(single
or double pass) and with or without electric fans & shroud do a better
job
of cooling a High Performance Mopar engine (400-500HP) better than our
good
old 3 core (or four core?) High Efficiency copper radiators w/shrouds
and
Mopar clutch-fans?

Please reply via private or list-wide e-mail if you feel it factually
beneficial to the group as well.

Thank you in anticipation of the empirical data and personal experience
vs.
the "marketing blurbs" of the catalogs, radiator/fan companies, and
hear-say."
