This core is used in the NASCAR sanctioned events across the country in the asphalt modified division...I agree with you is is not a C&R 2500.00 radiator for the "show" on tv. Still nascar guys I agree it is tripple "A" ball, but still the same sactioning body. It has almost the same air resistance as the stock radiator and frontal area, has 2 25mm tubes in place of the single 18mm tube of the stock radiator. My cars fans used come on all the time now they never switch on...so we must be doing something right and oil temps dropped DRAMATICLY.

It is just a little misleading imo to say it is a nascar core. The technology and quality of cores in nascar is way different than the ones in nascar sanctioned events.
Not trying to hate, just don't want people being accidentally mislead. |

agreed. I'm not trying to mislead people either. But People need to understand that the term "nascar" can cover your local every other friday night dirt 1/2 mile series up to to Daytona. If someone is paying 1200 for a radiator with a heat exchanger fans and wiring built in small #'s and thinking they can bolt it into Jeff Gordons car I think they are misleading themselves.. that said These "cores" routinely cool 650 HP v8's haulling around 3000 lb cars...

Thumbs up to this build and two thumbs up to the radiator/oil cooler combo. Looks like it would make any N/A car bulletproof on the track, and any FI car it would keep temps under control and be a great mod for durability.

There is is huge difference in quality from the average aftermarket core... But I am sure you are a heat exchanger specialist Awesome car overall man. I like people who focus on the important parts of cars like handling |

http://www.crracing.com/radiators And just because it isn't sprint cup, doesn't mean it's not NASCAR.. Even the Canadian tire series is now a NASCAR sanctioned event.. It even owns grand-am now [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR"]NASCAR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] |

Would this type of unit over-cool the car in a street/track application?
