Be Cool radiators
Is anybody running the Be Cool radiator part #65002 in a 450+hp SB? It's the GM universal fit model. I just bought one on eBay and didn't realize until after I bought it that the hp rating for this radiator is 350hp. That can't be right, can it? Shouldn't this thing cool way better than my stock unit? My stock unit is 19"x22" and the Be Cool is 19"x26".

Re: Be Cool radiators (tshort)
I'd say any Be Cool radiator should cool better than the stock unit no matter what hp it's rated at. My guess is that it's rated only for 350hp because Be Cool gaurantees a 20-40 degree drop in coolant temps. Meaning that it can probably handle more hp, but it won't drop the temps by 20-40 degrees if it's trying to cool more. In other words, they're probably trying to cover their butts and their gaurantee :yesnod:
