I have a Ron Davis aluminum radiator. I would not use this radiator again. Installed a larger electric fan. Made an aluminum shroud around the fan. Made aluminum shrouding in nose to direct air into radiator. Repaired radiator. All 4 corners failed where the tubes are epoxyed into the side headers. The radiator now does not leak. It cools the motor over 40 MPH without the electric fan. Under 40 with the fan. It all works well. I do not think it would work well on a racing track. I do not like the epoxy part of the radiator. Don't know if aluminum radiators are made differently.
