I installed a Bergs 13 fin radiator. It is a first class build. WOW, WOW,WOW. Oh did I say wow.

It cooled me off by at least 30 degrees. Before on 20 minute run at 55-60 i would get up to 200-210. No front license plate installed. At 45 mph and under it would stay around 185. The problem was always at speed.

Now, on a 90 degree day at 60 mph for 45 minutes the car stayed at 170-175. And this was with the front license plate installed.

This goes to show you that a flow tested radiator doesn't mean much as far as cooling.
