Cooling System Restoration

When your Camaros cooling system was designed, GM spent a lot of effort and money to make sure the car ran right for a long time. So keep that in mind before you go redesigning things.

Of course, when you increase power, you also increase the amount of heat you must get rid of so you must take a logical approach to improving the cooling system if necessary. The cooling system is designed to take heat FROM the engine and get rid of it by having the hot water be cooled by air at the radiator.
