Right now, only it's at Corvettes at Carlisle. Next one won't be until January, sorry
Great ! where's that china website again...
A guy needs a rad knows there's no sale till january whats he gonna do... At least I'm ok for now my car isnt rolling for another year at least but still... i think you need to drop the price again and not have sales or just do group purchases at least.
Thanks for the comments guys. I realize the C4's are not pulling in the big bucks and they are really in a category all their own. It's tough to pay 5-10% of your vehicle value for a radiator and many just can't do it. We are looking into creating a new (cheaper) single row design that will cool the same as the double row. With fatter tubes and shorter fin we might be able to that.
Besides price, what why would we get a single row over the double row?
Tom i have a question that's been going on my mind for quite sometime now,i'm all for a DeWitt's radiator and upgrade fan. I plan on running my transmission lines thru a standalone giant transcooler with fan. Is there any C4 radiator that doesn't come with the tranny cooler ? Seems like there is the only version, isn't there a "manual trans" version with no cooler which might be cheaper ? if there is not , should i cap the radiator transcooler and let it be ?
Let me know thanks !

im sure Tom can answer better, but if i remember right when i was looking at what they had they had one for manual tranny and one for automatic, difference being that the manual didnt have the tranny cooler lines.
I read another thread about an installation on a foreign production two row unit for less than $200. I will go with the A90M model ('93 LT1, six speed)from DeWitts this winter as I have to change my A/C condensor anyway. Perhaps by than the single row unit will be out and hopefully it will be a direct fit with no cutting of the rubber mounting pads and clearance. I will probably continue to use my stock fan.
With the excellent construction and info from the web site and from other comments by C4 owners, They should be building Optisparks!

Technically there is an application for no cooler. The 89 manual trans was the only one for the 84-89 era. Since the 4+3 manual trans had an internal pump you actually had a trans cooler a manual shift. We decided to just make the A84A with the cooler instead of creating a new part for 89 manuals only. You don't have to plug the cooler if you are not using it because nothing is going in, so nothing is going to come out.

The goal of developing a single row would be to make a radiator that would cool the same as the double row but cost less. We feel we can do this by using 1.5" wide tube and reduce the fin height from .36 to .25. Another benefit would be no trimming the cushions on the 90-96 and you would be left with a gap between the AC condensor and the radiator which allows the AC heat to escape and go around the radiator.

spoke with your rep at carlise and will be buying one of your rads next year so that I can finally modify the t-stat in my car. amazing piece of work you guys make
I'm not sure if this is a Dewitt's fan that I bought or not but I got it from Mamoworks. part number SP464. It's a great fan when it runs. A bit loud but that's ok as long as it pulls air I'm happy, but my fuse keeps blowing. I'm wondering if I need a bigger fuse. Anybody know what amp rating the fan is? I got a 30 amp fuse in there now.
