Default Question about DeWitt radiator install.....

I have a 94 LT1 6-speed and will be replacing my stock radiator with a DeWitt dual core. My question is.....Can I keep the stock fans or do I need to replace them with heavier duty ones? Thanks

Stock fans fit fine with mine.

Problems with the vettes are not water flow its air flow, In traffic- temps might be hotter?

The Dewitts radiator significantly increases cooling capacity. There's more rows and more fins to dissipate heat. So you'll see better cooling even with the stock fans.
