Our Champion Pro series radiators are designed to cool your high performance engine and to keep you and your car on the road. The Champion Pro series is designed using 11/16” tubes. These radiators are built with three rows of tubes, brazed aluminum cores which are tig-welded to aluminum tanks. All have approximately 14-16 louvered fins per inch, a brass petcock, and all are designed with aircraft grade aluminum. The strength of the aluminum allows for the improved design of larger tubes which allows a lightweight more affordable aluminum radiator to outperform a copper-brass radiator of similar dimensions. These radiators are typically 30-40% more efficient than their copper-brass equivalent. We would recommend one of these radiators for vehicles applications with 800 horsepower or less.
Champion Cooling brought the Champion Pro series of radiators to market with the goal of not only making a product our customers would be proud to show off, but also designed to the highest standard while still making it very affordable. You could easily spend between $550 and $1200 on a comparable three-row radiator from one of our competitors.
When we sat down and thought about what our customer was actually purchasing, we discovered it wasn’t simply parts for a classic car. We discovered they were purchasing nostalgia because their classic car brought back great memories from their past. Knowing this, we made it our mission to make sure our products were manufactured with the highest level of quality so our customers would be proud to install them in their vehicles and show them off to their friends. We also set out to make sure we could provide our products at a very affordable price allowing more people to enjoy the nostalgia of restoring a classic car. In addition to making sure our products are of the highest standard we give our best effort to serve our customers and treat them exactly how we would want to be treated.
