I would like to add Oversized Radiators to my list. I have a thread on this. Everyone that posted said that a stock radiator would work just as good. I don't know, if this is enough proof or not.

I was also going to spend more money than I had to on these type of radiators.
That's quite the accusation.Quote:

You have a stock car. Of course the stock rad is sufficient.Quote:

Added a few new things to the list, please people keep the discussion about worthless mods to the wbody cars, not the mods on this forum. I really wish I could clean this thread up and get rid of all the stupid that has been posted.
Slick, A oversized radiator isn't considered a mod?
It is when based on someone's opinion
How many people have had coolant Temps that couldn't be sustained for the stock radiator? Maybe 1 or 2 people that have 500-700 whp the rest probably need to do routine maintenance more often.
TheOtherNick, BillBoost37, Reptile, FoSHO99, dRunK13, Fivefingerdeathpunch, Mad Monkey are some pretty worthless mods.......
LOL Just kidding guys.
You forgot Iceman6669 or whatever Josh goes by these days...Quote:

Try to make some power on a 5/8ths rad then get back to us on that one.
FWIW I ran the GT rad with my setup...never ran hot.Quote:

Lol....This sounds crazy!
An oversized rad might be a requirement for a stock car on a roadcourse but a worthless mod on a 1200whp car. Its about duty cycle not peak power.
Im running an oversized radiator but its only because I already had one sitting and figured it wasn't gonna hurt anything, the lower hose angle is a pita though
So, does your car run cooler than it does with the stock radiator?Quote:
