[QUOTE="cbrjeeper, post: 736225, member: 13008"] [b]Re: Ls cooling[/b] I'm 500ish hp. Running decent temps. Stock pump is prob 6 years old and started to leak out of the weep hole. Griffin rad has a pin hole at top of rad (repairable). 180 t stat is month old. Spal 16 fan does its job. So I'm going to change all of it. I have dual 11in spal set up coming, ron davis rad, prw high flow pump, 160 stat goin in. TStat change first.. "tomorrow". And I'll ride it all weekend to get some info. New Rad with current 16in fan on it next, in a few weeks . Then change to the dual fan with new rad. Water pump last. I figure we need some new tech and cooling systems can be easy and then again they can be a pia. I happen to need to make some changes and I'm willing to spend, and do it. Lots of new parts out on the market for our sport since the hammers have shed a huge light on things. New parts get designed the sport gets better and stronger we start to break less.
