Go with the Shelby kit made by Revan Racing. That is the only way to go.

+ 2 added to my Red Shelby and the soon to be Sterling SS! You cannot go wrong with Van's gear.

Revans H/E is the best out there bar none...

 

Well worth the price as far as I am concerned... The Revan Rad is awesome too...

There really is just one good choice; the C&R/Shelby kit from Revan Racing! If you go with any other product, whether out of time convenience or cost considerations, you will only be postponing the inevitable and costing yourself more time and money changing it again in the future.

 

Ask me how I know. When Van first came out with his radiator, he offered me a great deal on the first "group buy". But since I was already purchasing an AFCO heat exchanger (he didn't tell me what he was up to there yet......) and because I thought I could save money, I decided to purchase a Fluidyne radiator instead.

 

Yet my heat soak problems persisted. I couldn't run 3 hot laps (at 9/10ths) in June-August without pegging the temps and going into limp mode. It was maddening. And this was with aftermarket cooling products already installed. And my only power adders were a CAI and an upper pulley!

 

18 months later I was selling the other products and buying Van's stuff. Now with two months and several track days on this cooling system, I can finally stop worrying about engine temp's; well at least from a cooling system capacity perspective. Still have to keep an eye on the gauges, eh? It was an expensive lesson for me, so learn from my mistakes and save yourself the trouble.
