Default Cooling question

I purchased a 2005 C6 that was hit in the front.

It needs a new radiator and fans.

The plan it to super charge or H/C the car down the road. Since I need to purchase new parts anyway with out busting the bank are there any upgrades that I should do to the cooling system? Or is stock sufficient to handle those mods?


Or since I have the front end a part anyway is there any thing simple that is an must do easy mod?

Thanks in advance.

With a S/C it might be good to do an aluminum radiator but with NA setup it's not as important.

I have an OEM fan sitting in my garage if you wanna make a deal.
