Chevy Radiator & Waterpump - Thermostat

Under-drive pulleys were once all the rage. It's been found that slowing the water pump down is not good for high-performance driving. Unless your car is a quarter-mile dragger only, keep the water pump spinning at the factory overdriven speed. Save horsepower by getting a high-flow water pump instead.

Running a 180-degree thermostat in almost any street car will keep it cool. Drill one or two 1/8-inch holes in the thermostat as shown to purge air from the motor when filling the system and as it warms up.

Unless you're running Evans NPG coolant, you can increase your boiling point by raising the system pressure with a radiator cap like this 22-24 pounder from Howe (above), since water boils at a higher temperature when it's under pressure. Make sure your hoses and seals are in top shape before you do this.

Additives have been proven to help cool troublesome cars down. They can lower temps on an otherwise effective cooling system by about 20 degrees. But if your cooling system is totally inadequate, none of these liquids will help.

Although it has little to do with an over-heating coiling system, running cooler oil temps can help build more power and longevity. This Dual-Cooler from Flex-a-lite is an automatic trans and engine oil cooler built in one. It's big enough to handle most hard-core street/race cars and tow vehicles and is easy to install.

If you've just swapped that new motor in and now the fan sits a million miles from the radiator, it won't cool squat. You need to keep your fan within just a few inches of the radiator, (less than 1 inch being ideal). Fabricate a shroud for the best cooling, too.
