I employed several handicaps to give the PWR/WOT triple pass radiator an extreme torture test. The results are in, and so is the video! Open your wallets!

Is this still in development? I cant find it by browsing https://www.pwrna.com/. Or do we still buy through Jason?

There is the PWR spec triple pass and there's the WOT spec triple pass. The WOT spec is the higher evolution, the ultimate level replacement radiator available.

The WOT spec has two primary differences:

1) More track oriented custom core: higher fin density, and special fin louver angle to further improve heat transfer.

2) Integrated transmission cooler on the backside of the radiator to further reduce coolant temps by unburdening the coolant system (the OEM design uses the coolant system to cool trans fluid via the heat exchanger on the front of the transmission).

The placement on the backside of the radiator is to minimize interference with the radiator to maintain maximum cooling effect of the engine coolant.

Collectively these 2 aspects set the WOT spec apart and make it the single best performing option on the market.

Message me if you have any questions and to order one for yourself.

Price is $1920 shipped within the USA, if international message me and we can figure out the shipping cost.

I'm unclear on which version @PointByPatrol tested. Was it the $1400 one or the $1920 WOT one? Did it have the transmission cooler wired up or no?

Is the WOT spec available WITHOUT the transmission cooler?

I was using the WOT spec, but the trans cooler isn't linked up yet.

He was using the WOT spec but without the transmission cooler linked in because he wasn't able to get fresh fluid delivered before the track event. With it linked in, the coolant system will perform even better and be able to handle even higher ambient temps or faster pace on the track.

There is the option to get the WOT spec without the transmission cooler for $200 less, and then the cooler can be added later if you choose. This is something that can't be done with the PWR spec since there are no provisions on it for the brackets.
