fluidyne radiator
 
so the fluidyne radiator is it worth it? how much will it cool down the engine? how many extra horses could i expect with the cooler temps?

thanks

All depends upon your application. A nice radiator is a great addition since it will cool more efficiently. The only problem is that on a stock motor the HP gains will be very little. A big radiator is somewhat of a "supporting modification". It will keep the engine from overheating if you are making big power. On a high horsepower engine you can gain HP by retarding the timing a little after you have the motor running cooler.

What are your mods? If you are still stock I would say spend your money on something else because a stock cooling system does the job well enough. If you are having cooling problems then I say yes buy the radiator.

basicly dont waste your money on one if yours is fine its not gonna make you go faster.

OR if you really feel like you need it (you dont ) you could spend half the cost of a fluidyne and get an 03 cobra radiator.
