Default Griffin, Howe or Fluidyne

saltshaker Jon one of these three will work fine. I have the Griffin in my ERA for racing. The 3 things I have found out is having a the correct size pulleys on the motor. I had the racing march pulleys, they are great for racing but not street driving. This was the orginial ones that came out, all where undersized. They have a new set out for the otherheating problem. Kirkham sells a beautiful set of customs that are the right size and bolt on. Billet Aluminium. Second, I use a 180f thermostat from an older dodge the opening is larger that the FE one and any highflow one I have found. The mixture of coolant and water is also important. I have waterwetter in my system but can't tell you if it makes alot of differents. Last Fan shrouds, yes if you can get or make one yourself. The other part of this is getting the hot air out from under the hood. I have a hood with louvers that work well. I am trying 2 bildge fans from boats to pull the air out the louvers on both sides of the car. My problem is with all the fans on with car running, I have over loaded my Charging system and need to go with a 100 amp instead of 60.
