Would this mod help make more power. I know my car feel strong when I start it up in the morning. I think it feels this way because it cold so will a high performance radiator do the samething as cold air does. Even when you dyno your car a cooler motor makes more power. Any way give info guys it's a $ 270 mod so help me out

I've heard about aftermarket radiators that do that to get more HP so it might work.

Your mustang actually makes more horsepower when it's at normal operating temp. Ever notice when you dyno, most of time your second pull is better than your first? I went to a dyno day and noticed this occuring on most stangs. In fact when they dyno tuned my car, they drove it on the dyno until my engine warmed up before they actually did my tuning and dyno pulls.

So keeping you motor cool will not help it make more power. I can't understand way my car feels so strong when it's cold out or whrn I first start it up. My be I need to tune it up

cold air = more dense
so your engine is sucking in more air when its cold, and is making better power.
