    How effective is this radiator at cooling?

    When they push the car off the trailer and into the indoor show parking spot? It's great, never overheats at all.

  4. If you zoom in it looks like the radiator hose coming out of the water pump runs toward the rear of the car, I don’t know if that is some kind of strange routing to clear before it goes forward to the radiator or if a secondary radiator (primary in the case) under the car or in the turtle deck.

    Don’t forget you could also run an oil cooler, if I remember correctly an oil cooler can drop engine temperature by as much as 10%.

    The second one could be better than shown by adding a fan shroud.

    That cooling system is odd to say the least, there are hoses from the core plug holes in the heads to the top tank but I’m left wondering where that water pump hose is going.
