I recently installed a procharger supercharger on my 99 Mustang GT. At the track, VIR road course, I'm running a steady 236 degrees. So I figure it's time to upgrade the radiator. The fluidyne bolt-in radiator bolted in fine, except for the anti-lock brake module. But once it was mounted there wasn't room to re-install the intake and discharge lines to the supercharger head unit. I had to put hte stcok radiator back in. Will a fluidyne radiator work with a procharger supercharger?
Thanks,
Ben

Wouldn't it have been cheaper and more effective to use a diferent thermostat? A flush and some water wetter can't hurt either.

A thermostat doesn't make your car run cooler. It only makes the minimum operating temp lower. It doesn't make your radiator more efficient. Once the thermostat opens it is up to the radiator to keep the temp as low as possible.

If the abs module wasn't there would the radiator work with the blower tubing? Or is the radiator size more of the problem?
