Default C6Z06 - what radiator are you running?

My Z06 is about to undergo some major upgrades (mainly suspension and aero), but I'm going to do the cooling at the same time. I run in Texas, and am crazy enough to run the summer events. What radiators are folks running out there? The motor is essentially stock but is looking at future upgrades to 650HP. I don't want to do this more than once. Oh, and BTW, the car gets driven hard around the track - think 9-10/10ths, not 7-8.

We can take care of you

We offer a dual cooler setup that will keep oil temps in check in the summer at TWS and MSRH.

I run the Dewitts radiator with no integrated oil/trandiff cooler and have no issues with 650 flywheel hp. I have 2 customers with the Dewitt unit with trandiff cooler in their C6Z's and they see no higher than 219 In 95 degree heat. I would keep the oil cooler separate.

I can attest to John's driving. He never goes anything less than 8/10ths.

At an autocross here, he set TTOD in my car, running on 7 cylinders (plug wire mysteriously came lose, and I was pissed), brakes needed bled something fierce and he had a broken wrist to boot. All on a technical course that had Miata written all over it, not a big a$$ed car that barely fit bewtween the cones!!

We nicknamed him EB, short for Energizer Bunny. Because, he keeps going and going and going. Especially when my wife bakes chocolate chip cookies. 8 out of 12 dozen he devoured in four days.

I counted the carnage of what was left over last night. Your nephew took a look in the container, and the look on his face was a mix of consternation and disbelief.

I decided to go with the LG setup, partly because of the option to series plumb the fluid to fluid cooler with the stock air to fluid cooler in the event it doesn't quite knock temps down as much as I'd like.

Due to the extent of the overhaul the car is about to undergo, she won't see the track until late Feb or early March, but I'll advise of the results.
