I've got a fluidyne for my 408, and sitting in traffic on hot days, it keeps the temperature in check pretty well.

Ok guys , now i wanna know how much Fluidyne is better than stock radiator
With my setup with 180* thermostat on hot 90F day my car runs about 192-196 with low speed adjusted on TwEECer on 180 , high speed kicks on 196 , and low speed can't cool it anough

I tryed use high speed down low but i start melting fan motor connector and i tred 160 thermostat but still nothing

Do you guys think i can keep temperature on let say 180 on hot day in traffic with fluidyne ???

Lets see....with the AutoZone 3 core $100 special and the mods in the sig I can idle at 190 degrees in near 100 degree temperature. I do however have a 99 v6 electric fan wired to a realay which is on high 100% of the time.

I'm not sure why so many people have cooling problems though…really. You would think my combo is about as extreme as it gets for "cooling necessity"…and yet I have no issues.

Mine is on "o" with stock radiator but sensor is on back off intake (i have autometer one hook up in front) so it never gets hot , if i moved on stock location it will read hotter
