Default Ron Davis Radiator+EOC+TOC

TC Design did the install, and I'm glad I paid them to. The car was up and down on the lift many times and with oil, coolant and tranny fluid involved I was happy not to be doing it on my driveway.

The last time I was at Thunderhill (Willows, CA, USA) it was near 100F and I was seeing 300+F on the oil. Yesterday I was out there running in near 100F heat again, and the data logger recorded a maximum of 221F on the water, unfortunately the logger doesn't get the oil temperature data off the OBDII/CAN port.

When I checked the oil temperature after a handful of clear laps at the beginning of a session near the end of the day I saw 207F water, 253F oil when pulling in mid-session. That is a huge improvement from seeing 300F at the end of a cool down lap previously!

My C6 Z51 car is entirely stock in the motor department, down to the stock air filter.

Thanks Randy@DRM! The set up worked great!

Same thing I have and it works awesome in the Texas heat I cant thank John at 21st century muscle cars enough for suggesting it.
The guys at Ron Davis are extremely helpful if you have any issues as well, first rate all the way around!

Similar experiences with my Ron Davis setup (minus the trans cooler). Great stuff.
