Eric, I agree about the amount of coil suscepted to air flow. There is some cooling to be had from simply running coolant through the coil even if the coil is shrouded (more of a heat sink effect) but nothing that matters much.

For the group buy, I would not say another word without getting an admin involved (Tim would be my go-to guy). Or maybe Paul can help (I think it has to be admin but I could very well be wrong). I cant remember the rules on group buys but I remember it being a touchy subject in the past (I can't remember why though).

I wish I knew how much difference it would make. I recently was working on a 90's Saturn and it took 20-30 min of idleing before the fan even came on. When it did it was only for a short time. It was like it had a very large radiator and it cooled even without the airflow.

There is another alum rad I have seen made by Superior and it has 360 sq in of surface area. 4% less than the MM, 15.6% less than the Fluidyne. I have seen these go for less than the MM.
 
I looked into various options when my h/c/i upgrade forced my little GT beyond
what the oem radiator could deal with. btw... at that time I was using reduced
temp values in the pcm for fan settings so it was obvious that the increase
in horsepower was a direct cause for the increase in ect.

anyway .........

I looked at so many threads in my research where peeps had done Griffin, Fluidyne, Ron Davis, and all the rest :crazy:

Bottom Line is ... some said it helped and others said it did not.

So many things can be in play here :eek:

1) Location

Take me and JT for instance ... Texas and Arizona
yet
We got many northern folk who really don't get those high temps

2) That little air dam thingie under the front snout of the car

Many don't even know it is supposed to be there

3) We could list so many other things that might cause issues which
could render a nice pretty shiny larger Aluminum radiator to be
ineffective.

4) The pcm
Guys ... Ford set up those values in that little silver box where it tries
its damdest to keep the ect at a level most of us would find hotter
that we would like.

I would submit to you that this is one case where the pcm is gonna
most likely be somewhat counter productive to the radiator upgrade
effort to reduce normal engine temps :(

Just thinking out loud :D

OH YEAH ... I've used the following for cooler temps in my Stang :)

Fluidyne radiator
Stewart high volume water pump
180 degree thermostat
Air dam thingie in place
Reduced temps pcm fan settings

I wish those were around when I bought my universal summit radiator. I had to make mounting brakets, did some welding and I still need to make a shroud for my fan to fit..... not to mention, yours even looks better than the summit one. Mine was $40 less..... but it cost me about 2 hours more work....
 
So far this looks like the best deal for the MM $185 shipped from KTeller.com.

Is anyone looking into a group buy on it or the Fluidyne? :shrug:

On May 29th, Mishimoto launched their new sponorshp with Mike Roush's mustang. Since this time the stock of radiators we held nationwide went pretty quick. They currently are on a nationwide backorder for roughly 21-28 days. This would be a great time to get a group buy together.

so how do we go about getting a group buy on the MM piece?
Once it's kosher on this side, I can just make a sticky thread temporarily, for the duration of the purchases. Interested parties jump on board. A window of time is set in place for accepting orders. Once the "class" of interested parties orders their products, that group buy is officially over.

This all sounds stodgy and dry, but it's the "tech" behind the group purchases I've seen on this site. Let me know if any of you have any questions. My line's always open.
For the group buy, I would not say another word without getting an admin involved (Tim would be my go-to guy). Or maybe Paul can help (I think it has to be admin but I could very well be wrong). I cant remember the rules on group buys but I remember it being a touchy subject in the past (I can't remember why though).
I'm all ears.
It was once a very touchy subject due to conflict of interest issues with the sister site of StangNet, www.partshopper.com. Additionally, there are paying sponsors who offer multitudes of products and sponsor the site to promote their product lines--mutual benefit in advertising.
