Radiator: Ron Davis or Auto Rad?

[cdushane]

Everyone, Thanks so much for all your input and advice. I've decided to go with the radiator from Frank at Prodigy.


Frank, thanks again and I look forward to seeing the "1st" one done like we discussed.

I have a 66 Nova Pro Tour car and I wanted something you don't see every day. When I saw the ad from Autorad in Super Chevy I knew right a way I had to have this unit. The quality is absolutely excellent and their service was second to none. I have a Chassisworks front clip and a 427 big block with a March Revolver serpentine system and the space is very tight. Jim at Autorad made everything to fit. The craftsmanship on the whole set-up, from the welds to the catch and the design, is so beautiful that I don't want to put the fenders and grill back on. I will have about $75,000 into the car before paint and interior and the polished aluminum core support and radiator set up will help keep it a notch above others at shows in the north east. I highly recommend this company.

I spent a bunch of time talking to companies about radiators. Mainly Ron Davis, CSR, and Fluidyne. They all recommended the heat exchanger. Then I figured out Frank @ Prodigy Customs had the perfect package for me. I was able to get the dual pass, 12 plate/12AN heat exchanger, dual 12's, in a pretty package. Oh yeah, the price is way less than Ron Davis. I just got it today. Look awesome, I'll be sure to let you guys know how it works soon. First impression if very favorable.



I really like the autorad setup. It would cause me some packaging issues with puke tanks, catch cans, power steering tanks. If I was in the fabrication stage then that would of been a serious consideration.

Todd --

Now all you need is the SPAL PWM fan controller.... it kicks on fan #1 at half speed -- and ramps up the speed as temps climb - then when #1 is full and temps keep going - Fan #2 comes on full blast... Hook your A/C trinary into it and it waits until head pressure is reached and kicks BOTH fans on full - and continues to run them for 30 seconds AFTER you kill the A/C to cools things down...

I just bought another one off AMAZON for $124

With this controller you only need ONE fan relay - for fan #2

Small package easilly hidden and all weatherpack connectors...

[Vegas69]

It's already wired with two relays and the trinary circuit is already soldered in. I'll just stick with it.

I really like that Todd. I'm starting to look for ideas for my second gen track car. I need to get ahold of Frank................
