    so how many degree temp drop did you guys see.. im obiously turbo and im still using my stock gt radiator.

    i usually an around 185* But im running no thermostat i was was seeing constant 195-205* with my 160 tstat..

    i do see my temps hitting around 200 on not really days still with no t-stat. so im looking to upgrade.

    if i go gtp rad will i see like 15* drops or?

    i know the oversized rad zzp sells is nothing more then a police package rad from a lumina and some impala's so i could go that route aswell if i will notice a big difference.

    you know what i never payed it any attention after i installed the 9c1 radiator. but my car always sits in the 1/4 mark and goes to half only in traffic and i mean sitting there for a while so i guess it made a diff.
