DeWitts Scratch & Dent rads

I have two C6 radiators on Ebay

One is the short (cut down ) version with no coolers

http://www.ebay.com/itm/222228657815...84.m1555.l2649

and one odd ball we made for a customer with the engine oil cooler on the passenger side. Customer cancelled order. it could be plugged and used for any applicaton

I recently bought one of your 1139105B double-thick radiators with both engine oil and transmission coolers for my Red. It has made a world of difference, and should be a standard upgrade to any supercharged C6. Love it.

Can this one be ran on the Z06 with the trans lines on the pass side or is it oil cooler set up only.

I called DeWitts last week, spoke to a lady, and asked for someone to call me back. Still no response. Someone named John? Perhaps, Tom?
I have a shortened DeWitts with EOC and dual fan set up that is not doing its job the way I expected. My LS2 is 6.8 liters, with a mild blower cam, and Meziere EWP. On warm days, 90+ degrees, I experience 235+ coolant temps and 250+ oil temps. This is w/o the AC on and just cruising. Fans are operating properly. Not pushing the engine nor on boost.
This is my 3rd DeWitts, and the only one that has not performed. Both previous radiators were full height w/ EOC.
What I wanted to know is should I return to a hull height unit w/o the EOC to achieve as much capacity as possible. I could install an external EOC somewhere outside the engine compartment.
Or
Does DeWitts make a larger, 3 row unit.

Cut down radiator isn't helping. Should have gotten full size.

What fans are you running?

Twin Spals from DeWitt. Tried the shorty radiator in an attempt to eliminate the ProCharger inlet restriction with a tall radiator.

I'm thinking this was a mistake

I'm wondering if those fans are doing you any favors. I haven't seen them personally but have read they don't flow as much as the stock ones.

And since it was on the internets...

Yes it was.
