Additional cooling suggestions
I have a 08 Z06 with an ECS SC kit running around 7psi. Rest of car is stock, but when I beat on her the coolant temps will rise to 240ish. If I drive normal the temps drops right down. Any suggestions for additional cooling? I'd rather the temps stay in the low 200s regardless how bad I'm getting on the car. Car doesn't get tracked, occasional roll racing on the highway.

Look into a dewitts aluminum radiator and their brushless fan kit. You'll need to call and order the fan shroud that fits a centri blower

If you are getting hot while moving, start with radiator. Fan helps if you are getting hot at idle/slow speeds. Sounds like radiator is first step.
Dewitts all the way. Their quality/service is top notch.
