Thread: If you recently bought an aftermarket radiator from ZZP or W-Body store

hmmm. good thing I havent picked on up yet. I agree with checking your parts!!!!
I had different lifters in my comp cams box, and different wrist pins in with my pistons.

quality control nowa days is lacking abit.

but hope all goes well with your new install!!! let us know if you feel/see a difference.

For the money of what these run, its cheaper to run a better fan/shroud set up with a 180* T-stat that will achieve even better results.

Switched out my '97 fan set up with one from a 2002, that made all the difference in the world right there. Then, changed the settings for the fan in the computer, wha-la. It only cost me $25.00 and time.

Rule of thumb there...just because they (anybody) sells it, and has claims of gains, doesn't mean you should buy it. Surprised the vendors are not selling electric superchargers...I mean, they give you 500WHP with a simple bolt on mod, what could be better! Ebay sells them, so they must be good. lol

I agree if you live in a cooler climate.......

But I live in Florida and the car needs extra cooling. Even with the fan settings changed, a high speed fan switch, water wetter , 160 thermostat, my car will get between 190 -200 on the highway in the summer when it's over 100* out. Don't even ask about in traffic.....

I have been to the track when the surface temp was over 150* so I'll take any extra cooling I can get, I have an SSIC waiting to go on and that will block the radiator some too.

BTW I picked it up for 150 shipped on a ZZP woot sale
