Radiator
My car has been running hot. It has been in the 90's here, but I did just get an SC installed.
I'm having the car tuned and am having a Fluidyne aluminum installed at the same time, and wondered if you guys thought that would make it run cooler.
Any thoughts? It has a 160 thermostat as well.

RE: Radiator
160 is prolly too cold... i'ld go with a 180. Also, I think the tune and the radiator will help out. Be careful with an aluminum radiator. They run cooler and don't corrode like copper, but they clog easier from what I've heard. Get a good flush before it's installed...

RE: Radiator
Sounds good and appreciate the input.
I just talked to the tuner about Borla mufflers and he talked me into a full three inch mandrel bent custom exhaust with the Borla mufflers.
It's REALLY expensive, but he said it will make a big difference with the tune. I'm kind of buggin' out about it.
