My fear with laying it back is the loss in efficiency. I'm already running over 200 cruising on the highway. The look is awesome, but at this point I'm more concerned with managing the heat. I invested too much $$$ in rebuilding the motor to burn it up.
Anyone else care to chime in????

Default Radiator

Jeff, Call Griffin radiators. They are great to work with and will build you a radiator to fit and work for your application exactly. Visit their website. They are knowledgeable and professional. Check out their website but call them to get a quote.

Does laying it back on an angle decrease efficiency? I've never heard that before.......
Besides, the Fluidyne Shelby Cobra replacement radiator is a huge, thick, efficient radiator, it's got MUCH more capacity and area, and a MUCH thicker core than the radiator that came out of my Contemporary.
