Default Dewitts radiators

Just went to dewitts site and they have a direct fit unit with an oil cooler built in. Is any one with an FI car running this radiator? What are your results? Thanks

Lots of people run dewitts and its supposed to be good stuff. Some people smarter than me don't like oil coolers built into the radiators. Puts even more heat into the coolant and just that much more work to keep the car cool. A separate cooler is the way to go for the oil.

I have a full size dewitts in mine for the last few years with spal fans and it has worked great... I chose the one with no cooler for the reasons mentioned above plus you get more cooling capacity if you ditch the built in cooler

I have the full size Dewitt's and used the stock fans. Temp Stays at 185-190 sitting still with the AC off. With the AC and sitting still it will get up to 210-220 but drop down once you start moving. This was through the Alabama summer.
