Re: Can an AC Installed make the engine run hotter than before?
The radiator does also have the automatic tranny cooler on it. Maybe installing a separate tranny cooler would help a little, but might help the tranny live longer.
I know you just have to be careful of running a BBC hot as the stock heads may not hold up long term to the extra heat input.
What about those aluminum radiators. I have talked to a few suppliers of them, they all claim about a 15-20% decrease in temperature just by swapping to one. They are expensive and I really don't want to spend that kind of cash if the gains are really small. If it could get me back to 190 degrees, I might would take the plunge for one.
Idea's? Thoughts?
