Matatk, thanks for your input and... nice of you to remember my previous post! Since water is half-again as good at removing heat as anti-freeze, I went with a mix of approximately 80% softened water and only 20% Dex-Cool. With the addition of two pints of "No-Rosion Super Kuhl" to handle corrosion from the H20, my temps were lowered an average of 5-7°. Well, as it turned cooler here in central Florida, I added a gallon of Dex-Cool just to be safe. So, now I'm protected down to +5° but my engine temps are back up about 4° and 205° is a normal occurrence. Being "old school," my mind has a hard time with anything over 199°! I know the LT1's were designed to run warmer than my old SBC's but, my mind still has a hard time with it and I constantly run my A/C to keep my fans on. (I'll have the fan temps lowered when I finally get a digital tune.) And THAT's why I've decided to finally upgrade my cooling system. You may be completely accurate in that the SPAL fans are overkill but, I'd hate to find out the difference without them is only marginal and have to do a bunch of the same work over again. It's got to be easier to do the radiator and fans at the same time. All that aside, suppose I simply want to supercharge my LT1 now. No doubt I'd have to move the receiver/dryer. So, given that I have a local A/C tech I trust, the question remains... where's the best place to mount it? Many thanks! |
