Talking Wizard Cooling Aluminum Radiator

So after doing some research on the Be Cool radiator I have, and discovering that it will only support a MAX of 400HP, I have come to the conclusion that I have to get a new radiator. No need risking a $4000 motor with a $400 radiator.

So I did some shopping... contacted some companies. I talked to all the big boys, Ron Davis, Be Cool, PRC, C&R, etc... and none of them would really deal with me. Ron Davis tried, but they just weren't interested in giving helping me out like I was looking for.

So I remembered my fried, who is having C.A.R.S. build him his repop Camaro, uses radiators build by Wizard Cooling. And they said that Wizard is the company who is suppling all the radiators for the HotRod1 car, <sarcasm> that we all seem to love </sarcasm>. I figure if it was good enough for HRM's cars, then I would give them a call.

Boy... was I glad I gave them a call. They were totally willing to help me out. Got a nice radiator with shroud, and they sent me some pics of a similar one they will send (less the 4 fans). I was stoked. Looks like a nice part too. Claim it will support 800HP with a dual electric fan setup.

Take a look at my site for some pics.

It has been brought to my attention that I was "shill"ing you with my posts. I apologized if anyone thought I was selling them something. I guess it is only appropriate for companies magazines and companies to drop product names. I shall leave my comments to my own site.

Looks nice. Ron Davis is top-notch stuff. I will add that the Be Cool rads handle much more than 400 HP. I had one in a 800+ rwhp Camaro and it never broke 190 degrees even idling in 100+ degrees with the a/c on.

That looks like a really nice radiator setup. Not questioning your dealings with the big radiator companies, but does your project need different radiator dimensions than a "standard" 69 Camaro ? The only reason I ask is that both Ron Davis and Be Cool make models specifically for that car that are good for well over 1000 hp. Tim at Ron Davis has supplied a bunch of these to cars on this site. Just curious...

Very nice ride you have there...clean rendering too !
