yes it works fine, i live in very humid southern alabama, however, and if i decide to do a buildup on the motor i thought it would be a good idea

Just did this!

I just put in a Fluidyne Radiator, it works. It was thicker then stock but the fan still went in. The only thing I had problem with was A/C line (alum. ones) to the condenser I had to tweak a little, just push over a little. The mounts are a little stressed due to the thicker radiator. The mounts aren't the same distance from the front cross piece compared to the stock one. I was hoping that the temp would go down but was dissapointed. It has a 180 thermostat and still not cool enough for me. I was hoping for a better turn out. I was hoping it would stop the heat soak after shut off, NOT. I also put in a Gords HE. It looks great w/the Cobra on the front.

Deletes are not a good mod for a stock intake and heads N/A car, too much lower end losses for not enough upper end gain...For a blower or short runner/ported heads car it can help add a few upper RPM HP

I believe LFP is coming out with a new aftermarket radiator soon. Should be a quality piece. Anything to improve cooling on these heat monsters are a plus.

My aluminum radiator was made custom at a shop, they based it off of a Steeda radiator, and man it looks great, and it is the best mod I have ever done. My 96 used to run in the A and the L in NORMAL, now it runs in the N and the O in the spring and fall, and on hot summer days, it's only in the R. AWESOME, I know it is a lot of money and its not a go-fast mod, but it will help you out big time!!!!
