[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10401880, member: 11681"] Nothing! The stock radiator is a great rad. Many of us put bigger rads in, in the early days in an attempt to get a handle on the overheating issues these cars are prone to. Not just open track guys. Turns out that unless air flow is increased significantly through the, more resistive to air flow thicker aftermarket rads, all they do is slow down the overheating by increasing the amount and mass of the coolant. A car driven in normal conditions doesn't need cooling mods. Cars with 100 or more horsepower over stock levels load way more heat into the cooling system than it was designed to be able to keep cool and unless time is given to radiate it out, they will overheat and detonate and trash pistons. Now that these cars are getting older many of them are eating up rads and heater cores, from corrosion and more often than not, Electrolysis. [/QUOTE]
