Ok I finally got a break from school, and I came up with a little bit of cash so I wanted to get some progress done on my camaro project. The car has a 383 SBC and after It gets running I plan on starting the build process for the turbo set-up. Right now I'm looking for a radiator that will be up to the task of 900 crank hp. I've been reading through search results and I still can not come up with a solid answer to my question. Is a 2 row 1.5 inch tubes too much? or will a 2 row 1.25 inch tube radiator get the job done. I keep hearing conflicting stories so I'm unsure which to choose. I called up Ron Davis to get there opinion and price on a 27X19 universal and have not been able to get a hold of them, I'm guessing that they are just pretty busy. I talked to C&R radiators which recommended that I go with they're 28X19 2 row 1.25 inch tubes but wanted 499.99 which seemed a little high for a universal fit. Then I called griffin, the same radiator was only 272.16 but he recommend that I get the 1.5 inch tubes for 450 shipped, sounded like a good deal. But come to find out that they use epoxy which i hear is not a good thing. What do you guys think of all this and could you help point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
