Even a stock rad...

In fact, I've never seen anyone that had problems after removing the aux rad.
Anyone?

Re: Will an aluminum radiator....
Aluminum radiator will provide abundant cooling. I was driving through the CA desert at speeds higher than indicated on any signs I saw, with the A/C on at full blast and had no issues at all.
Although I do know folks with stock radiators that don't have problems either.

Funny Guy, that Steven fellow..! :-)
If that's true, then you must live in Northern BC!
I'm only about 200 miles north of you. Southern Ontario gets summer somtimes too, you know!

No problems

I have an aluminum rad without the aux pushing a few more HP than stock and it does run hot, but as long as I keep moving it's fine.

Re: No problems
Were you at a rally cross in the Rochester area late last summer? I saw your car, have a few pictures of it (nothing great). If so, which guy were you? I had the conquest.

Yes
Which guy was I? Not sure how to answer that one, maybe the fast one...ha!
I've been running out there for years on and off. When I have a car that's running, that would be an on.
I'd like to see the pictures in any event.
I also used to run my 90 out there. Check my pic poster for those shots.
