I have never liked the fact that they rate them by horsepower rateing, they are a heat exchanger and should be rated by B.T.U.'s. I spent 10 years working in a nasty dirty smelly radiator shop and i have never heard of so many people haveing overheating problems or "cooling" problems in my whole time working at that shop as i have heard here on Club Cobra. Ihave built some big radiators and have heard of people that can't cool a small block Chevy with a radiator out of a Suburban........MAYBE it's not the radiator that's the problem.........under what conditions does the car run hot ...are you sitting still in traffic....running down the highway at 70 mph turning 4 grand on the tach.....a little info would go a long way on helping you solve your problem and MAYBE you wont have to throw a credit card at it to fix a problem that may not exist with the radiator.
