Hey all,

I am getting parts together as I can for my up coming project. I started to look at Radiators and am wondering what you tube chassis guys are running?


The car is an A body, stock wheel base, may have a couple inches of engine set back. Dry sump is on the motor already so the tank will take up some room in the front.
Thoughts suggestions or do I need to get you guys more info.

I've got one of the larger Summit radiators in my Scamp, it can run all day and not overheat.

I run a BeCool in mine but thinking of switching to either CR or Davis with a radiator mounted pump.

I am looking to do two things. One mounting the pump to the radiator will clean up the front of the motor a bit. Two when hot lapping it would be nice to have something a bit bigger, never really been hot but more can hurt. In S/ST we have done 3-4 rounds in under an hour on more than one occasion. At the last Divisional we did 5 rounds in three hours with the final three in 45 minutes.
