I was wondering what has been tried to get better cooling or more air flow on the c5?

I have a magnuson supercharger which adds heat.

 

Vent louvers in the hood to release some heat maybe? There’s a thread here somewhere on these.

 

i have a cowl hood but im not modifying that.


im going to look into better radiator, Maybe some air from bumper.

i figure the c5 is old enough that someone might have come up with some improvements.

 

I just put in a Dewitt's c5 cutdown radiator for my 2004. It is cutdown specifically to accommodate a supercharger!! (Which I don't currently have, but...)

You can make the gills functional:

They are out of stock and get made as they have time. I have a set, just not the time to install them. One of the guys in Florida just put only the one in the left/drivers side and said it helped. I'd have to find the post...

 

The manufacturer claims that these devices are for the purpose of drawing air from the wheel well to improve down force. How would installing these reduce the engine bay temperature and "improve cooling"?

 

Just a suggestion. My thinking is that if you are pulling air from the wheel opening you are also drawing some hot air from the engine compartment as well. How much? I don't know. Lots of differing opine on the subject:
