Well, it overheats in traffic and at the track (esp at the track tho)
Like when theres only two lanes and its moving nice n quick
I dont have any time to do anything to cool my car...
SO i just BLAST the heat and keep fan on.

Going to try a better voltage switch and that Water Wetter crap tomorrow and flush my radiator.

Didnt get to do it today cuz i got called into work

Welp, I bought some antifreeze and changed the fluid today.

Also bought some Water Wetter from Redline, or something like that
Red something.

anyways, doesnt really seem to be running cooler
It's kid of fluctuating between lets say 180-220
maybe thats the water wetter stuff trying to combine with the antifreeze/water

Anyways, I'll see if it helps on the track next wednesday.

Also, I bought a 20 amp switch
and it STILL heats up
should I try a 30?
The 30 amp switches need to be grounded off tho too...
dunno where I'd ground it its all carpeting where the switch is(right next to the ligher in that small box, lighter isnt there so the switch can fit)

Sounds good, is it a TWO row radiator? and do I need to make adjustments so it fits?
Or will it replace an OEM one.
If so tell me where to sign and ill go n get one 8D

So would it fit the average TWO row radiator?

Because I cant really run any bigger, due to my puller fan and my water pump(its about an inch clearance maybe a bit more)
