Would you recommend a Dewitts or Ron Davis radiator for track events on a 1993 where oil temps reached 330 with a made in China radiator. EOC? thanks

Definitely EOC. With oil temps that high, I don't think a DeWitts or RD with oil cooler will be enough. Good luck with it.

On my 93, I used a Ron Davis with an integral EOC. Oil temps dropped from 300 to about 240 max. Coolant stayed right on the T-stat. This was true even in 100 degree California heat.

If you want everything to live, extra cooling is absolutely necessary. A dual core radiator like a DeWitts or Ron Davis AND A SEPARATE OIL COOLER. I run the DeWitts radiator and a DRM auxilliary oil cooler. Temps stay in the 240 range even with ambient temps at 100 + deg. Spend $ on extra cooling or spend a lot more $ on a new engine.
