Biggest radiator possible!!???
im so im going the turbo route and considering im gonna have a big intercooler infront of the rad and my built motor already likes to run hot because of strenghtening plugs in it for high boost, i was wondering what the biggest rad that goes into out cars, i know we take a 31 by 19 i already have a griffin aluminum one, i doubt its gonna be work with boost im gonna run and keep my car cool..
so my question is, who makes a nasty rad for our cars or does anyone kno a place that makes them custom like a 4 row aluminum race part...that would be nice....let me know what tou guys think...i really dont feel like doing a be cool and such...

31x19 is the biggest you can fit. the griffin 1.25" tubes are supposed to be good for up to 400whp. i put the 31x19 griffin with 1.5" tubes in my car, it is a big radiator, and only fit with some massaging of the frame around the end tanks. i also had to turn the stock power steering cooler hard lines into soft lines. and of course you are going to have to fab up some upper and lower mounts. the radiator is rated at 600 plus whp. and with my dual 12" shrouded fan, griffin told me it could keep a 1000 horsepower car cool, a bit overkill for my application, but thats just how i am. i run a 170* thermostat and the hotest i've seen it get is 178* and thats from my scanner.
