Can't provide any input on the BeCool but the welding on the DeWitts is first rate and the construction quality is as well. I went to Carlisle for several years checking out the DeWitts before finally pulling the trigger. When I did, I got the driver's side EOC even though I currently haven't hooked it into the motor. It is direct fit with minor changes to the fan shroud required.

I have been running the dewitts on a road race track for some time now without any issues and it has done a great job keeping my temps down.

They both make very good radiators. We sell a lot of DeWitts and the fit and finish is great..

You should add Ron Davis to the list as well. In my mind its between the Ron Davis and the Dewitts.

Thanks for all the input guy's its the first modification I'm going to do to my blown ZO6. The summers in the central valley of California can be very brutal. I want to keep my new baby nice and cool.

You know it's funny you mention that because I was thinking of adding the oil cooler just because of the harsh summers out here.
Does any one have any information or feedback on the "black ice" coating De Witts uses on thier radiators?

That coating is just to give it more stealth.

Contact Tom DeWitt directly, he spends time on the forum and can answer any questions you might have.

Sweet. Thanks. Is it cheaper to go directly through him or to go through another vendor?
