Tom

Need a price for a Radiator setup with upograded fans to fit/plug and play (hopefully) 1990 ZR1

550hp capable thanks.


People will buy whatever they feel is best

How these parts stack up 5+ yrs after installing has some credibility.

Guilty of being cheap before then start thinking about how many times Ive had to do and pay for things 2 and 3 times before it sunk into this thick skull. If the car sits for awhile to get the good stuff then so be it.

I installed the Champion radiator today. It looks like it's well built. The upper and lower mounts need to be modified but it was not difficult. The serated blade on my Kershaw did the job nicely.

Add at least 1 bottle of wetter, the anti-freeze and water and you're good for the next 4 seasons.

Just get the fans on at the right time and you will have a cool car...bet it will look ok as well.

Got the Dewitts radiator along with their fan package in the Z.
Man what a quality made piece!!

Car runs between 175-180 all the time now even with no air dam in traffic!

Tossed the cheesy stock fans and rad in the trash where they belong

When the fans come on you know it and the needle drops RIGHT now!!
Doesnt fight itself and drop a degree here and there (ok being sarcastic but you get the idea)


Good stuff
