Is there a radiator or radiator fan combo preferaby that is comparable to be cool and their set up? The be cool set up i looked at was rated up to 700hp and i was curious about finding something that will do the same or better.
 
Well what car is it for and your setup. That will be the determining factor right there. Now just in general some people have had success with this company rad fan combo

Now sure how the fitment will be to your gbody, but you can always call to get more info if your interested.
 
Its an 85 cutlass with an olds 455 in it. 450hp right now but it will be going up alot more and id rather not have to buy more than one radiator and fan combpo so id like to get something good so it will work out for me later on as well.
 
BeCool is a rip off. $600+ for a radiator is insane unless the thing installs itself...

I have a 400+ hp 455 in my 442 and I run a wide 2-row aluminum radiator I got off eBay for like $200 shipped.
I run a stock fan shroud with a 7-blade fan and a HD fan-clutch.
Sits right at 205* all day, and even in the worst of idling/traffic conditions never goes above 220*.
 
Just go to the scrap yard and pick up a lincoln mark VIII (93-98) or a ford tarus electric fan they move alot of air.
 
mine is also gonna go to the track on weekends when I can get there. Theres a few of those sitting around my town ill have to check them out.

I agree with you you 100% and the radatior isnt even made in america only the fittings are they false advertise saying its made here, china casting's are crap.
 
I installed a aluminum replacement from Advanced for a 454 equipped 70 Monte in my 85 cutlass.All I had to do was massage the passenger side radiator support by like 1/2".It cost somewhere around $99 bucks plus tax and was defintely adquete for a SBC.
