Thanks again.

Will you have to drop the turbos in an LPE TT to install this?

I can't answer EOC radiator questions yet. I don't yet have my EOC radiator. A friend of mine just had a separate EOC installed on his 408 Vette and his oil pressure did not drop at all.

it has 4psi drop at 2 gpm.
I have the radiators done and will shipping them on 8-11-05. I am now waiting on the adapter blocks and a final hose length before I can offer a hose kit but I think you will be happy with the price. If you want, you can wait for mine, or purchase one of the others on the market to get it done. The block machining is going to be about 4-5 weeks. You can install the radiator now and hook up the oil cooler lines later.

Cool. I'll just hang on a little longer before hooking up the EOC to see what you come up with. Will your adapter block clear headers ok?

Dang! I need to make a decision about the current ride, and if I'm keeping it, score one of these. It's an outstanding deal! (I'm sure it would help control temps with a little TT action too 
)

Tom,
Thanks for the prompt shipment on my new EOC radiator (just ordered on 8-5-05)--I also want one of your new oil cooler kits when you have them fabbed up--I am in on your R&D on this.

The DeWitt is in!!! The only way to describe this thing is awesome! 
Very nice looking welding, very heavy duty. The new one is quite a bit heavier than the old cheesy plastic unit, but being so thick it is still lite. Didn't fire it up yet, doing some other work while everything is apart. Way to go Tom!

Looks good! You sure didn't waste any time in getting it installed. The brown santa should deliver mine today.
I am going delay installing mine for a few weeks until Tom gets the line kit ready. I want to do everything at the same time. With the supercharger it is a pain to pull everything apart more than you have to.

That radiator really looks great installed. My sexy radiator came in today via the brown santa--who has visited me lots lately--he asked are you done getting parts yet and I told him almost.
My forged engine was raised in place last weekend with the DS1C attached. Now just waiting on some parts from A&A to finish the install of the kit and we should have another FI car on the road.
Love the look of the Dewitt radiator and hope it will keep my car cool

Tom, I have a c6z06 with some engine mods. The car sees 80% track use at southeastern US road racing tracks DE events in fastest groups, 20% street use. I am pegging coolant temp gage, seeing 290 on the oil temp. Swithched to NPG coolant but that didn't stop the temps just mentioned. What radiator would you recommend, and what cost to me? Thanks.
