Default DeWitts/A&A GP

I was asked by many to offer a GP and Andy from A & A was nice enough to offer forum members a discount and free shipping. As of today, I don't believe anyone has taken advantage of it. If you are interested, now is the time. Call A & A and get it

If I didn't just get one a few months ago......

I highly recommend both Tom's radiator and A&A

Thanks!

The radiator I got from Tom is about twice the weight of a stock radiator. But, that is not saying Tom's radiator is heavy by any means, that is saying how small, cheap, cheesy, and flimsy that factory plastic piece of crap that GM calls a radiator really is! Tom's all aluminum, all welded radiator is 10x the quality of the factory crimp together plastic/aluminum radiator. Also figure the weight of about a gallon of extra coolant since Tom's radiator has way more capacity than a factory unit.

I'm very impressed with my DeWitt! Great quality! And great customer service!

I just called Andy at A&A (http://www.aandacorvette.com/) and ordered the A97M radiator. The deal is $25 off listed price and free shipping. Does anyone have an opinion on what else I might as well replace while I'm puting the new radiator in? Like maybe a new thermastat (not colder though) or something else?

Thanks,

- Max

The radiator itself is about double, then add 8lbs for one more gallon of fluid

Hey Tom,

I am also thinking of putting a Callaway Honker air intake on my C5, do you know if the DeWitts radiator will interfere with the fitment of this intake (the intake does require cutting the radiator fan shroud)?

I agree with Howie, I don't think it will make any difference. Tom's radiator is almost exactly the same size as the factory radiator, except it is thicker front to rear. I don't think the Callaway Honker will get that close to the radiator. But that is something you will never know until you try, or Callaway should be able to tell you for sure, I'm sure they have some big radiator in their cars!

Just ordered mine through A&A. Looking forward to getting it. Hopefully it will make a difference with this South GA heat.

Thanks for bringing this deal to my attention. Great service as usual from A&A.
