Champion radiator for ~500hp small block??

I know you know your ****...I respect you

I ran this car with the exact same radiator, fan, engine, sensors, fluids, altitudes, and ambient air temps. No other variables were changed.

I added a shroud and the coolant temps dropped by -15° at idle and -5° at speed.

Please explain how that happened.


It speeds the air through the radiator. But at road speed it’s a giant backwards parachute.

You need more fan area and get rid of the cookie sheet.
