[V8Vairs] Thought- Cooling Pipes

[Ryan Counterman]

Cooling system:  27" wide, 1" core aluminum racing radiator from Jegs, with 
a 16" puller fan on the inside.  2" and 2.25" coolent pipes fabricated from 
aluminized exhaust tubing.  Miloden high volume cast water pump, and 
origionally a high flow 160 degree thermostat.  At cooler ambient temps, car 
would not go above 160 degrees.  Ever.  In traffic, fan off, etc.  On hot 
days car would barly reach 180 degrees, and I was having some economy 
problems (yea right hahah) So I put in a 190 degree tstat instead and have 
been very pleased with the results, now it runs at 210 degrees on the 
hottest days, and 190 on the coolest days.  The cooling fan is set to come 
on at just over 210 degrees, and almost never comes on.  I have to be in 
serious stop and go with the engine above idle and no air flow through the 
radiator to get the fan to come on, and the car has never overheated.  Thats 
my story and i'm stickin to it...
