Default Anyone have experience with RSD radiators?

Just curious if anyone has dealt with thier radiators. I plan on installing a TT in my car and want to upgrade my cooling to handle the additional power. Any suggestions for the water pump and radiators would be appreciated too.

I run a DeWitts with the oil cooler. Stock water pump is fine. I run the stock fans but you can also use an aftermarket fan setup from Dewitts. Great product and a super vendor.

Have never heard of RSD units. MANY forum members have successfully used DeWitts and Ron Davis radiators on their cars. I use the DeWitts and an external DRM oil cooler and have had great results even on track days where the ambient temp was > 100 Deg.

Agree with Kevin here. ^^^^^ The quality and perfect fit of the DeWitts is hard to beat. This upgrade is almost mandatory on a boosted car.

Shoot a PM to forum member bullit4110 - I think he runs an RSD unit. I've seen them out of the box, and they look very nice, but I run a DeWitts (RSD unit wasn't available when I purchased mine)
