The Water Temps stayed right around 208-211 degrees out at Autoclub Speedway this past weekend (75 degree ambient temp). That temp was maintained for the duration of the 20-25 min track session.

So far I would say this cheap ECP radiator is working very well and was about 1/4 cost of a Ron Davis.

Is this the ECP radiator you bought?? If this will work in hot ambient conditions other C5 racers (especially SpecCorvette guys) need to be informed about this radiator.

Where are you located? Oli needs to drive your car and see how it holds up to the heat. If Oli can't overheat it no one will. I wish I knew about this radiator about 10 years ago when we had to pay blood money for the RD's. Heck a used RD is still more than your's and the construction on youtube looks very very well done with perfect TIG welds
