Dear Sir/Madam
I have a VE Calais-V with L98 engine that sees quite a deal of motorsport work. It is modified with cam etc and I am seeking to significantly increase the fluid volume reserve and cooling of the radiator.
It would be appreciated if you would advise me of the largest and most efficient size radiator and vane/ core numbers that PWR have for VE and a price on said replacement product.
Regards
Peter

stop addressing me as Madam!!!!!!!!!.
Pete i had a look at these sometime ago. I found it was more complicated than running extra cores, larger tanks, ETC.
Thermostats had to be taken into account, most have to come from the states still then looking at cores, number of fans, tanks and even overflo sizes can help????
Sorry mate, i know we started talking about this today, but did not get to finish.

Paul, it doesn't seem that I get a response from PWR on this forum anyways, so I take on board your personal advice on the matter. Hence I may as well try the direct approach and go see PWR at their home base to map my future; whenever I feel the urge, but is certainly not high priority now as I have digressed to other products due to time and commitments.
I was obviously very neieve in that I thought sponsors aside from paying a nominal fee to advertise;;;;; also provided advice on various questions asked... Thats the way it is on LS1 and other forums.
Bottom line is that there are numerous options are out there by various producers; and as it stands "phase one" of my various key components cooling of the VE will be done by Hi Torque (HT) this coming Thursday regardless of PWR advice back to me or not. Too late now all the parts have been ordered and received by HT.
Oh well, I cannot recommend what I don't try or trial.
:rolleyes: :( :mad:

Please let me explain something. PWR have paid for sponsorship but they have paid for basically advertising. I dont have a problem with this. It is cheap advertising for them and we get some much needed funds into the bank. Meguiars is the same.
PWR can be found on LS1. This is correct. But, and I know this for a fact, PWR are one of LS1's sponsors but not premium sponsors. Tell me if you can find them in the same list as GM Motorsport, Sam's, Powertorque, Marranos or even Ziggy? Premium LS1 sponsors pay for the privelage of an area to post and make comment. LS1's other sponsors essentially pay for advertising. Some companies would only want to go this way.
I am very grateful and happy for PWR to be on board.

So is everyone else...
Even I knew without asking that they where PAYING for just advertising only, and not here for Q & A.
Guess if you really wanted a price on one of there products you could call them.
Adam I have added a post to your welcome thread with there contact details so people that dont have to look to hard for there details :cool:

I got my answers today. I went down in person. :rolleyes:
Got me some oversize cooling christmas presents, but already upsizing to their "top end big" items after playing a bit on the fitup side of things post visit and items in hand - another visit required to exchange/upgrade and a dedicated fan. Not sure exactly where its all gunna fit but at least its a start to the serious cooling reigime.
Performance with longevity under all conditions is my current plan. Heat generated and kept under hard running for extended durations is a killer of drive train. Drags is way different, as its a mere 400 metres of full bore running which shouldn't be a a problem to most road cars.
The variety of brakes PWR have are very good value for VE. Still out of my price and budget constraints :(
