    Looks like another case of "You get what you pay for". That is one fine looking Radiator.... Got to get one of them for the Camaro one of these days...How much lead time do they usually need Don????

    The lead time was only something like two weeks, if I remember correctly. They are super to deal with, and will custom make it any way you want. Dan had the inlets and outlets rearranged, and I had them move the filler neck and outlets around.........no problem.

    I spent quite a bit of time talking with one of their guys (I think he was one of the principles in the company) at Daytona a couple years back, and he took all the time in the world with me, and impressed me with his no BS knowledge of the product and cooling in general. He never knocked the competition, but just discussed why he thinks they build a good product.

    He was also the guy who told me they have a machine they built to test the output of various electric fans. He said companies keep sending him fans to try, but they have yet to find one that has the true cfm output of SPAL's. That is a couple of year old info, and may have changed by now.

    Is that including fan and shroud Denny? Those add about $ 150-$200 to the tab.
