all aluminum radiator FTW

Still can get pretty hot on the track. I was having boil issues at SZ last year.
When I ran Gingerman, my coolant had no issues was around 210 the whole time. My oil got hot though, which is why I left after 9 minutes on every run. What thermo you running Todd?
 
Oil got to 250. Coolant was boiling out of the overflow tank. I don't have a gauge for coolant since oil temp. is more important.
 
yeah i have issues and i have a 168 degree tstat i still run hot in traffic and stuff. fans work fine, but a tune woudl help it run cooler obviously. i don't have a problem when i beat on it, but i'd like an aluminum radiator

I tell you man... PRP

I changed the temps at which my fan kicks in. A cheaper route would be to drop your radiator and spray it out with a water hose. You'd be amazed with the difference it makes.
 
as cool as that is, I'm quite skeptical, maybe its the bad taste I still have in my mouth from the weapon r coolant tanks.

also isn't it lacking the mounting points for the fan assembly??
