Re: Radiator

It sounds like you're asking "what is the best radiator to put in my race car that may be on the street once in a while?". Aluminum is the best choice due to the weight benefits. All radiators need a shrouded fan(s) across the entire tube area, and they need a low pressure area to flow to. Factory cars have a small chin spoiler under the radiator to create this low pressure area (NOT to be confused with the front aero spoiler). A flow restrictor or thermostat is required. Proper water pump speed is required. 50/50 coolant is the best choice, water won't get it. That should get you started.
