Default AFTERMARKET RADIATOR??

Need some advice on an aftermarket radiator...which one? Why is this one better than stock? Same size as stock? Would you know if it works with Andy's/A&A's single-intercooler ProCharger setup (where the radiator is lowered and angled more than the stock)?

Thanks so much in advance! :seeya

I have a Ron Davis 4 core. Keeps the car cool during the AZ summers. Its about 2x the size of a stock radiator.

Give Tom Dewitt a call. Very nicely made and priced, double capacity unit (like BeCool). Fits perfectly.

We build a great Aluminum direct replacement radiator that has an integral oil Cooler built in. It can be had with or without the oil cooler adapters, or we can include a complete kit including the adapters, lines and fittings.
We are re-doing our web site, but we will have photos and pricing up for online ordering very soon.
the rad alone is $795 on special and the cooler kit is $300. We also use these in our World Challenge race cars on our team plus other teams use them with great success.
I would be willing to do a group purchase if there is enough interest.

thanks
Lou G

Integral oil cooler LGM is the way to go :thumbs: when road racing temps never go over 195 water and 222 oil. Before 310 on oil was possible.

Awesome, Lou!!

What about size (w/ the oil cooler)?...how much bigger is your radiator than the stock unit? Can you compare the dimensions or your unit to the dimensions of the stock unit?

Thanks much! :)
