Guest Anonymous Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 I'll tell you what, I havn't tested this radiator (Howe 19x24) in traffic under a load, but idling in the garage on jackstands, even covering the A/C condensor with a few shop towels I could not get it to warm up to temp after quite a bit of running (didn't push it as I have the exhaust off so it was running open headers.. ). The amazing part to me was, the left inlet tank was hot enough to nearly burn you. The right side outlet? Not even warm! I'd say thats pretty decent heat dispersion in my view. I knew these aluminum radiators were pretty good at getting rid of heat, but man.. I have no doubt that I will never have a overheating problem again. Not bad for under 2 bills.

BLKMGK Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Yup, thank SCCA for turning me onto them. They fit pretty nice and hold a ton of water - awesome cooling! Put a decent fan on it and you shouldn't ever have to worry IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Yeah thanks to you and Mike for turning me on to the Howe. It really is a nice unit. Hey man, you got your own domain now? Cool. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Lone, it's good to hear the Howe unit is as good (even better!) than I had hoped it would be. I was going to get a Griffin at some point in the future, but I may end up getting a Howe instead. For now, I'll stick with the Camaro unit I have. BTW, "Happy 1700 posts!"

Guest Anonymous Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Congratulations young Jedi.. You have caught and probably surpassed the master in posts. We have much work ahead of us as we seek out and look to surpass the Z masters. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 What's everyone using for a thermo switch on their fans? I bought one of th ereplacement sensors they sell for mine and wired it to the gorund of a relay - doesn't seem to be working though. Argh!
