IMO, if it is not double or triple pas, it will not keep the cars cool. I haven't seen anything close to the rad in that regard. of course it gets awfully hot here in the SE, may not be an issue in other parts of the country

I started out with the Koyo radiator and it seemed to work ok, Had a little mishap and had to scrap it. I put the CR rad in my car last year and it when it got hot in July the car ran Hot like 210. So I bought the Springfield recently for next year, do not have a comparison yet but will.

I did not like spending the extra money but cooling is important to both the power and longevity of your motor so of the bucks you are spending a rad is not the place to cut corners.

I try not to think about the money I spend on this hobby, it would take the fun out if.

Yeah, ~J didn't share this secret until after I'd already bought my Koyo. :bash:

Sure wish he'd shared a few months earlier. :arguing:

Oh, well. Looks like a really nice unit. ~175 in the draft on a 100* day. If true, is really nice.
