Default C5Z procharged - oil cooler

Oil temps are 240-260 just street driving and id like to get back down to 210-220. Any good bolt in kits?

What about water temps? Stock radiator?

I don't have any specific recommendations on bolt in kits, I would just get something with an oil thermostat if you go that route with a street car. I run a dewitts radiator with built in oil cooler. Not the ultimate track setup, but a good compromise for street duty IMO.
