FlowKooler

Cooling System Buyers Guide 2013 Flowkooler Logo

Engines rarely overheat on the highway due to good airflow and good coolant flow. The reality is most engines overheat in stop-and-go traffic, at stoplights, or at cruising speed when the coolant flow rate though the radiator is reduced.

FlowKooler's newest generation of Hi Flow Water Pumps have precision-machined impellers with integrated shrouds and a military-grade anodized surface finish. With incremental vanes and tighter tolerances, FlowKooler doubles flow rates at slow speed and idle to reduce engine temperatures as much as 30°. A more efficient flow helps conserve system horsepower by 2.2% and increase the block pressure by 22%, which prevents the formation of hot spots and steam pockets in the water jacket. A full range of pumps for street rods, muscle cars, trucks, Jeeps, and rock crawlers is available through selected dealers or directly from the website below.

Griffin Thermal Products is proud to introduce the all-new ExactFit series of aluminum radiators. With 30 years of experience in the performance cooling market and one of the largest collections of OEM sample radiators, Griffin has engineered the ExactFit series.

Working with a double focus on precision and performance, the ExactFit products install exactly the same as the OEM component. They offer all of the required mounting tabs, brackets, and spuds to ensure a seamless installation. Optimal performance is achieved by the use of two rows of Griffin exclusive MaxCool 1.25-inch tubing. The wider tube width used in these products creates a greater amount of surface area in the same amount of space. This allows the product to far exceed the performance of common two-row 1.00-inch radiators.

Backed by the industry's best two-year warranty, the new ExactFit radiators are the top of the line.
