Default ***RSD All Aluminum Radiator***

Anyone who wants their LS engine to run cooler should put one of these in their car and replace the thermostat reprogram the fans to reep the benefits of a cooler engine.



We also build a 3" cut down radiator for the Vortech and Procharger supercharger guys. With the 3" cut down unit you can use a 4" air filter pipe to increase boost in your supercharger instead of the restrictive plastice dongle.




All of our radiators are available with either oil coolers or Transmission coolers.
Buy them here;

Last ditch chance before I go to a competitor. Email and phone didn't work.

Looking to buy the cut down radiator and line lock. Cash in hand. I try to avoid cards. So if I can pay you in person that will be ideal. Im in Vacaville. You can ship the parts to me if you need too.

Thanks.

It worked great on the drive home... Stayed at 180 all the way, and it typically ran at 198 or better as soon as it was warm.

This was indeed the cut down model, as I have the V3-Si.

Looks great - have to shoot some pics later today and I can post them for you. You will be very happy - I sure am

That's what's up. Ill be waiting for the pics. Glad it works. I never had a heating problem on my c5z. But running cooler will be a bonus. I primarily got it so that I run a ganja 4 in tube to my p1cs-1. Then drop a pulley size and retune. Watch out now! :-)
