DeWitts makes very good aluminum radiators, for C5.

Look around, there are others as well, but DeWitts is popular with many Corvette owners.

Sure, Dewitts and Ron Davis both make C5 radiators on the top end and ECP (Engineered Cooling Products) makes an economy model.

Don't know about Mishimoto.

I was wondering, do you need a radiator? Unless the car is very modified you should be okay with the stock one. I have a mildly modified '03 Z06 with 145,000 miles on it and I have still have the original radiator in my car. It still cools just fine. There are options if you need one.
