^ That perforated sheet has about 35-40% open area, that's worst than the debris you might get

 

Old School
Don’t get insulted not looking to argue with you.
Look again a lot of fresh air goes through there it’s a large area end to end.
Be there since 2016, no problems

 

How about a “It’s hotter than a firecracker on the 4th of July” sale Sac City?

 

You got it! Check out www.saccitycorvette.com/COOLITv2.html on 4th of July! We will have a one day American Independence Day sale!

Thank you,

Do you guys not offer this for the C6 and C7, never seen one and was wondering why? Thanks

 

Hi bjones,
We dont offer the Coolit for the C6 &C7. We have played around with one for the C6 but don't have anything solid yet.
We haven't looked at the C7.
Thanks
Christian

 

Look at it this way. If the same guy offering the advice had instead asked for 50 bucks, you would have probably asked about the payoff for you. if you had asked the guy why he offered this advice for your car, maybe he has a good reason.

most guys who post about a lower thermostat, seem to think it lowers the entire engine operating temps, when in truth, it only opens the coolant flow valve earlier, it doesn't effect the operating temps, just the time to get up to temp. Changing the computer settings because of a thermostat change, I would have to have that one explained.

Some guys learn enough to be functional, and never advance beyond that. They apply the same techniques learned thirty years ago, and don't get that the LS engine is very different from the old stuff. I have read more than one post here that suggests to use Dino oil, the conventional stuff, bypassing somehow the factory fill cap that says Mobil 1 on it, and the logic that there might be a good reason for posting the information on the fill cap. Another example of running a critical system, lubrication, outside of the original design, just because you can. Everybody enjoys knowing that their car, or the stewardship of it, is special .


I always need a very good reason to run a major operating system outside of the original design, because I am running smog legal, not enough changes to mention, and the original design has no known cooling problems.

The operating systems were designed by experienced engineers to work together in harmony with the other systems, after investing years in development and millions in development dollars. Changing the operating temperatures in any modern motor is a big deal. With the new different densities of fuel and air velocities you will miss the sweet spot where the most efficient combustion event used to live, so a redesign of the heads, maybe the manifold runners , to maximize the variables back to the original efficiency, might be needed.

I just don't have the chops to out engineer a well paid team of factory pros who do that stuff for a living, five days a week, 12 months a year. It might be your guy has an understanding particular to you car, I can only speak in generalities.

Since stock radiators were mentioned as a part needing improvement, I offer my opinion, pretty much using the same thinking described above.

I replaced the stock radiator when mine failed, with another stock radiator. It was not an expensive part, the old one worked perfectly well, until around 100,000 miles, and it was designed as an OEM part of a major system. A system responsible for more engine failures than any other cause. I would have paid extra for a lighter radiator, but the GM part was already plastic in every possible area, and all the aftermarket stuff I saw was all metal, designed for more cooling than stock.
Which would have removed my cooing system from the Goldilocks zone, where everything is......... just right.

 

Moved over to the Tech side.
