Radiator Opinions Appreciated?
Ok guys its getting hot outside so i'm looking into greater cooling needs, whats the best radiator for the money, im running a dynoflow double wall radiator (at least i think thats what its called) what would be my best option to go with? original equipment isnt going to be enough to handle the heat output the engine is creating, cuz i'm in AZ and it gets kinda toasty out here, TIA

http://www.radiatorbarn.com/ should have what you need. What mods do you have on your car. But you may need a fluidyne in your extreme heat. I'm sure some of the boost guys will give you their recommended cooling methods..

If it's overheating, maybe you have a blown head gasket? Maybe a bubble in your coolant system. I don't know how old the radiator is on your car, but those are viable reasons for overheating.

could be a bubble but i think mine is just old and warn out, head gasket is just fine its just that i abuse my car and its the radiators time to rest, it was very efficient for a long time under a whole lotta abuse
