Stock OEM Radiator vs Performance Aluminum Radiator
A stock radiator may be fine for your grandmother who drives 25 mph to the grocery store once a week, but for those of us who can never have enough power a high-performance cooling system is a must!

Even if you don't put a beating on your car everyday, we all have that urge to push our cars to their maximum ability. A blown motor is the last thing anyone wants to deal with. After all, you deserve to be able to push your car to the limits! High-quality, reliable cooling products are essential if you want to enhance the lifetime and performance of your vehicle, while at the same time preventing engine failure.

The Engine
A car's engine has tons of moving components. As these parts move they create friction, which creates heat. Motor oil is pumped through the engine block to assist in lubricating these moving parts; however, motor oil is not enough to beat the heat! As a normal result of a working engine, the parts become boiling hot.

If you have that need for speed and are running an upgraded or modified engine, you will need to upgrade your cooling system as well. Stock radiators can't handle the heat produced by these types of engines. The more horsepower your engine puts out, the more heat it produces. The engine block must be kept cool to avoid overheating and/or seizures. If the pistons cannot slide freely in their cylinders due to the excessive heat caused by friction, they will eventually snap and cause total engine failure.

The Radiator
The radiator plays the most important role in maintaining a cool, efficiently running engine while preventing overheating. A mixture of water and antifreeze is pumped through the chambers in the engine block, and when this extremely hot engine coolant exits the engine block it goes straight to the radiator through the hose kit. As the hot coolant makes its way through all the chambers, fins, and tubes of the racing radiator, the extremely hot engine fluid is now cool enough to return to the engine block. This is a continuous process and the most effective way to keep your engine cool and running at its best. Aluminum radiators are the strongest and most durable. They can withstand the extreme conditions of everyday driving and are also much lighter than stock OEM radiators.
