PP Radiator in regular GT

[whirledpeaz]

Just spoke with a rep at LMR....

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com...g-GT-Ford-Racing-High-Flow-Radiator-M-8005-M8

The rep said this is the performance pack radiator. If that's the case, Tasca has them for $450. I sourced one locally for $505.

If that's the case then there's a big difference in price!

Any noticeable drop in temps?

The PP radiator is noticeably thicker and I do think it has helped my temps, I dunno know if it was worth $500 though...

There's the rub. If OP runs the car hard at a track then it may help on temps. If not then I could think of a lot of things better to upgrade with the $450-500.

I was considering swapping.....but I am not having any issues keeping my base model cool, in the Florida heat right now.

If you are not seeing ECT (not CHT!) over 210 regularly, I do not think the PP Radiator upgrade is necessary.

My car, I have a little higher than stock compression...a bunch of boost making over double the stock power level, with a hot blower sitting on the engine. With the AC on, and cruising in stop and go traffic, I am not having any issues. I log my car every time I drive it.

If I do run into issues, I will start with a cooler stat and tune revision.

Just curious....in the old days the automatic lines ran through the radiator before they went to the trans cooler....is it the same for the S550? And I agree all the cooling the world doesn't help when the thermostat is regulating the temp.

The auto S550 cars have a separate cooler for the trans so nothing goes into the radiator.

$500? For $1900 more you could have got the whole Performance Package. It really was the best bargain ever and I couldn't pass it up. The wheels are $1200 +, The Brembos are a couple thousand and that doesn't include the Torsen Rear Diff, Axle Ratio, Strut Tower Brace, Etc....

But if you wanted an auto, then you had to get Anniversary car as only auto/PP cars were available in Anniversary editions.

So those of us that wanted a base GT/Auto car, we couldn't get the PP.

Yup! I wanted a Premium Competition Orange with the Auto. BOOST loves the 6R80!!!

Is the bigger radiator taller/wider? If so, then is there a grille change, too? Worth checking into...
