      champion

      I just bought one, Fit was perfect, Packaged well. Not running yet so we will see. Was wondering the same thing. I asked a few times and the answer i got was just buy one off ebay. So I did it is a 3 core. pretty nicepiece for the price. Hopefully she cools as good as she looks.

      x2. I bought a champion for a 76' camaro I think so I could fit 2 12" fans on it. Nice pc for the price, my car is running but not on the road yet so I can't say how well it cools just yet. Altough I removed the 40 year old copper one and had zero cooling issues with that so an all aluminum should work just fine.

      Check my signature link I have some pics that might give you an idea what it looks like in real time.

      I have one on my Cutlass. It's worked beautifully. It fit perfect and I've had zero issues with it. I think that they are a good buy.

      You get what you pay for. I purchased a 4 core "1000hp" polished version for my 67 camaro to replace my AFCO racing rad that only supported 500 hp. I need to cool 700 hp. Let me just say I wished I hadn't cheaped out. Tanks are half as thick. Cores are very narrow and the tiniest of particles will clog them. My brackets were out by 1/2" and had to build new ones. Let me say welding to that thin metal was tricky! I built a custom schroud with 2 Derale fans pushing 4000cfm. I am a month away from warm weather to try it out. Durability will be one question. Support 1000hp....never. I will probably have to do it all over again and get a dual pass American built rad to finally get it right.

      I too need to support well over 1000hp more like 1500 - 1750+hp.. I I sold my Be Cool Rad which was rated over 1000hp and did the job with a Procharger 3 core intercooler slapped in front of it...I need a pair of radiators either side of a pair of crank mounted Prochargers. It's on a second Gen Camaro so they need to be 13" or less in hight. I'm having major problems solving this cooling issue!!!!!!
      Dual Radiators: series or parallel?

      well from what i have seen because i also have a 3 core 1. anything pushing less than 750hp will be fine with a champ radiator. if your 1000 or 1000+ hp you have to pay to play so dont cut corners.
