Race Pro Radiator 28in x 19in Double Pass

The Race Pro Radiator 28in x 19in Double Pass by Northern Radiator is purpose-built for high-performance street and track applications where thermal efficiency directly impacts engine longevity and power delivery. This aluminum core radiator addresses a fundamental challenge in modified vehicles: stock cooling systems frequently struggle under sustained boost pressure, aggressive tuning, or extended high-RPM operation. The Race Pro's substantial 28-inch width and 19-inch depth provide significantly more cooling surface area than OEM units, making it essential for turbocharged, supercharged, or high-horsepower naturally aspirated builds where standard radiators cause coolant temps to climb dangerously.

Double-pass core design is the engineering hallmark of this radiator—coolant flows through the core twice, dramatically increasing heat rejection capacity without requiring a larger physical footprint. This configuration forces coolant to traverse more aluminum tube length and fin surface, extracting thermal energy far more efficiently than single-pass designs. Northern Radiator engineered this unit with reinforced tank construction and optimized water flow paths to handle modern engine demands, whether you're running nitrous, compound turbocharging, or simply pushing higher boost levels. The 16.2 lb weight is appropriate for aluminum construction at this displacement rating, and the compact 22 x 8.5-inch depth profile allows fitment in engine bays with tight packaging constraints.

Mechanics and tuners commonly upgrade to the Race Pro Radiator when baseline cooling proves inadequate during dyno sessions or after significant displacement increases, intercooler upgrades, or power adders installation. Compatibility depends on your vehicle's mounting provisions and hose routing—verify connection sizes and tank location before ordering, as this is a universal-style radiator requiring proper bracket fabrication or adapter fittings. Installation typically involves draining the cooling system, removing the OEM unit, and securing the Race Pro using existing or new mounts, then refilling and bleeding air from the system. This upgrade pairs exceptionally well with auxiliary electric fans, high-flow water pumps, and quality coolant to create a comprehensive thermal management system capable of sustained performance driving.
