I will have the 800hp Griffin radiator, stock fans, and currently have an Meizere electric water pump. I think most of you guys would agree for HPDE and even Autox the EWP has to go. So if I go back to my stock water pump, will the upgraded radiator be enough to ensure adequate cooling? Is their a nicer pump that I should look into (something cost effective)?

Just as a general statement, cooling the oil has a huge effect on keeping everything in the motor cool... So if the OP doesn't have an oil cooler, it should be thought about.
Also ducting into the radiator without any gaps is a huge step. I half assed this step before my first event this season and paid for it. 250* water temps in 2 laps. Added an oil cooler and ducting and now rarely see over 200* water and 240* oil. So make sure everything else is up to snuff before you discredit the electric water pump about being able to do the job. |
