As most of us know, keeping the engine temperature lower helps performance. Beside cold air intake, what can do this job at a decent price?<P>-Does a racing radiator worth it?<BR>-what else?<P>thanks!

simple. buy that $12 header and exhaust wrap and all you have to do is wrap your headers and your piping with the wrap and it reduces engine temperature to almost 50-70%! it works well. i also checked on a dyno and i got an increase of around 2 hp....not bad for $12.

you can use a better radiator. the header and exhaust wrap is simply a heatshield resistant to up to 3000 degrees. works nice.
