Very interested... already have a Dewitts on one of our ZR1s. It made a big difference, but the big heat exchanger was a NO-NO. It cover all the inlet to the radiator and even with the dewitts which is MASSIVE it still heated up to 235 at IDLE.

Advanced
looking to do road racing open track days my only concern is that some of the oil and coolant temps posted seem pretty high and I would like to upgrade the radiator BEFORE I have any issues.... so any news yet

I saw 245 water temp last weekend after a 20 minutes on a road course. The outside temp was 90+ degrees.
Very interested anything that will help keep it cooler.

Sorry guys, it is taking us a bit longer than expected.
First unit is due to be completed this week, and hopefully in Michael's car next week. I'll have pics and temp results on the production unit as soon as we get his car finished up. I expect it to do almost the same results we saw in Lou's car dropping temps down into the 185-195 range from the 250-260 we saw on Lou's car in testing before the hill climb.

Already have the intercooler in the car now, just waiting on the radiator.

I would like the heat exchanger with bigger reservoir & radiator as a package deal when available.
