Anyone know about what hp a stock 93 Gt radiator /water pump will cool up 2? I am planning on switching both down the line if I go super crazy on this car,but for now was just curious.

one billion HP

heat dissipation has nothing do to with the HP output of en engine.

will be fine until you get into some decent power I.E. supercharger and h/c/i


get a mark 8 fan, and a fan controller, and the stock radiator will last much longer

I understand hp has nothing to do with the radiator.So I probably should have worded this more logically. So A h/c/i swap say... going w/ trick flow top end kit would require me to change the radiator to one w/ a higher cooling rating,even if I use a taurus electric fan or mark 8 fan?

I use a stock radiator to cool my 11.25:1 compression 347 stroker.


Does that answer your question?

Completely. Thanks!

my aftermarket fluidyne radiator and flex fan could not keep up with my motor when it was N/A yet even worse when i put a blower on it. Had to go to an electric fan to keep up. only had issues when i was in traffic at under 10 mph or at lights, once i was up and moving i was fine the flex fan couldnt pull enough air at those low rpms

no.

with a proper electric fan you can build a pretty stout motor and be fine. (like adder said)

with the stock mechanical fan you will run into issues quickly.


I have a "stock replacement" radiator that was on the car when I bought it. It is slightly bigger then stock, and the only time I have problems is when I had the stock cat's on for emissions it would run a tad hot. with free flowing exhaust, and not sitting in traffic I don't even see 170 most the time with a 180 thermostat.

IDK why but sitting in traffic my car would start to overheat, even in the winter and I had a fluidyne and electric fan. But if you'll always be cruisin', you'll be perfectly fine.

weak water pump, bad mix of coolant/water, using a ****ty fan
