Keeping our Cool with Be Cool
by Frank Colgoni
   
 

Here's an instance where we don't have to wait until the future to report on the performance of a product as we just went through one of the warmest summers on record. The good news?

The good news is that we had no problems with our LS1 even in traffic when cooled by our Be Cool radiator.

We have a sequence of photos below showing our rad at various stages of the installation with and without the AC condenser.

Looking pretty right out of the box (but not just another pretty face).
 
 

Completely mocked up with tranny cooling lines,
Lowdown fabricated shroud and fan.

Front view during final assembly. There were no interference problems with the insert.
 
An additional detail worth noting relates to our hood sides. We decided to go with a single, small, row of hot rod louvers at the bottom rear corner of the hood side (punched by Lowdown). While these are functional, they don't provide a ton of exit area for hot air. Despite this and with our Be Cool rad, we stayed in good shape. Can't complain about that.
