I want to know if anyone has a ford racing radiator and how much it lowered their temp. My car has been getting really hot so I'm looking for a better radiator.

I would try a $5.00 thermostat first.....Radiators help with heat exchange, but basically its the thermostat that dedides the engine temp...

Are you looking at the 3 core brass FMS radiator?

I just put a 180 degree stat in. My car runs okay when it's cold outside. It gets hot when I run it hard or if it's hot outside. I was looking at the 2 core aluminum one.

Have you tried replacing your radiator cap yet? Very often overlooked, and very often the solution for overheating!

I got a 3 core from pep boys for 190$. It worked awesome. It NEVER goes above the A in normal (N being very hot).
I drove from navato to the GG bridge in 1st/2nd gear and it didn't even move. This is on a H/C/I car.
I believe its a Go-Dan.
