ok wel time for a cooling head my wasp .26 is disapointing me in temps what do you guys think is the best cooling head i dont mind price as long as it does not excede 69 bucks here are the ones i am thinking of but stuck on

king head- sry dont kno the website

nova - www.novarcproducts.com

crazy nut - www.crazynutracing.com

and msj cooling heads - www.msjproducts.com

if any of you have had overheating problems and used one of these heads or another brand and had succses with it i mean dramatic like 40 - 60 degrees cuz its winter and im gettin hot imagiune summer i dread the fact adn i also heard if u use heat transfer paste or sumthin it helps neone try this?

im leaning towards crazy nut right now but oi could change my mind if people have sum real life experience with ne of these heads thanks for all your help

I use the Crazy Nut on my Sportmaxx with the 2.5 and it lowered the temp by about 30 degrees. Don't have any idea as to how they will work on other engines though.

How hots it getting ? How quick ? .... its possible you have an airleak or somthing ! maybe try sealing up the engine and you won`t need a new head !

I have the nova's on my force 25 and my picco .26. ANd it dropped them around 30 degrees give or take a few. They are super durable, haven't bent a fin yet, althought the top is scatched.:D

I took mine off now I live in the midwest and the airs a little to cold for it, so i pu tthe stockers back on, come spring they will go back on though

Just for the heck of it, check your head gasket and also make sure your carb is seated all the way down. I was having overheating problems in the 325 range. I didn't have a head gasket on it and the carb was not seated all the way. Fixed both issues and now the truck runs at 212 without changing any of the tuning on it.
