Default DeWitts Radiator & Fans

So I am getting the C6 Corvette Direct Fit radiator for my 2009 Z06;
Part #32-4139105A (Pro Series Direct Fit®, natural finish, dual 1-inch core) All C6 Z06 models (Except 2012 model year with Z07 option)
Now I am not sure if I should stick with the stock fan, or go with either of the DeWitts SP463 C6 Fan Upgrade or SP471 17" Brushless Fan Kit? (Or would you suggest any other fans)
Need the upgrade so I can daily drive my Z06 in Kuwait's extremely hot weather. Engine is NA.





Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks

If you didn't have any cooling issues before the radiator swap, I would reuse the stock fan & save $750.

If you do get the brushless kit get it so the fan is on the passenger side. The drivers side photo there is tough as the ABS is on that side..

Yeah I guess I'll just go ahead and try the stock fan with the dewitts radiator first.

Look in the forced induction section where guys have lots of problems with heat management. Most all of them say dewitts with prospeed fans or the stock fan.

Gspeed I believe now has a nice fan setup using a c7 fan. Maybe the best option.

I went with the whole She Bang, what's another 750 especially when I'm going through a total rebuild due to a bad GM lifter!

Get the bad *** Dewitt’s aluminum radiator with the Prospeed fans and be done with it. Do it right the first time. That set up fixed all my cooling issues

Agreed, go with the DeWitt's radiator only, and the ProSpeed fans and module, it's worth it!
