They typically ship the rads out the same day. They do sell silicone hose and clamps. Just go to their website and look under 'Misc'

P.S. Btw, I just ordered mine!
One very clean looking piece of aluminum is on it's way to me!!!!!

Great idea Earl. My rad was shipped this evening and I got my UPS tracking # from Georgetta (or is it Georgianna?)...

I'm very pleased with the customer service I received at PWR! This was the most hassle free 'group buy'/'discounted rate' I've ever arranged with any vendor! They basically knocked 25% off the retail price for us!!!

All aluminum radiator = insurance...agreed but what about improved cooling?

I use my car as a daily driver. I encounter lots of traffic in my one way 45 minute commute. This being said, my stock cooling setup regulates engine/trans temp through thermostat and electronic fan operation.

What conditions does the aluminum rad keep the engine cooler? How will a larger radiator help me in stop and go traffic, especially since the thermostat will start to close at temps around 185 and slow the flow of coolant through the rad? How much cooler will the engine run?

Thanks in advance!

The radiator will heat up less quickly and will dissipate heat quicker due to more fins/surface area. Not to mention the fans will not have to work as hard/often to keep the radiator at a good temperature

In the desert 120* heat, the radiator takes just a minute or two longer to come up to normal temp. As you know, the engine doesn't run any cooler due to the thermostat. I drive in hard core 26 redlights per square inch desert heat, and I haven't noticed any difference on the temp guage. It never overheated before, and it doesn't now.

But here's where it benefits you, especially down in Georgia. When I step out of the car, I no longer feel the furnace from the transmission on my ankle like I did with the stock radiator after playing the redlight, stop and go routine. I don't have a tranny temp guage except for my ankle, and that sympton went away.

That is true, the thermostat does not allow it to read any cooler than stock. The ECU was mapped out to the desired temp provided by the thermostat. The thing is, this radiator does not work as hard to transfer that heat on hot days which allows the fans to run less. Overall the radiator will keep you from having to buy a new one again. The cheap plastic used in the end tanks of the OEM are prone to cracking, so why not get a radiator that will transfer heat much better, cool your trans better, and save you a couple hundred bucks down the road?? I don't see why anyone would need more reason than that

One more radiator spoken for (for my dad's).

To clarify things:

- although they have silicone hoses they DO NOT have ones specific for the SVX. Currently they're only available from www.planetsvx.com
- they have clamps of various sizes and they will give a discount for us on those as well.
