Then we tried the spec r rad/cooler in a 500 race car and found unless the car was run in clean air which only happens if your in front we started seeing water temps of 115 degrees and rapidly rising air temps up to 48 degrees , So put the standard 26 year old 500 cooler/rad back in it was spot on as the cooler was just too thick and needs a good bit a of ducting work and bumper modding to get more airflow through it ! So in a 500 bhp road fun car I agree with James
I take it this was the Brooklin car and was it logged as the time I checked that car on the dyno and found the owner was looking at the 20year old VDO gauge was reading wrong.
