For those of you have the external cooler in front of radiator and go to the in-radiator style cooler go buy oil lines for the 2005 Z51 Corvette which had the cooler in the radiator.

Very cool! Do you have any data on how the oil temps were affected vs. stock?
Oil temps are my main concern at this point.

Watched the a video you posted regarding the overall develpment on the Z06, props to you guys for doing all that R&D. Also is’t a great looking radiator! Where is this product manufactured?

FYI, the BF price for this radiator seems like a great deal. I'm going to have to order one today.

stock radiator and prospeed fans would of been 235-240 after these hits and wouldn't cooled down unless i put AC off. and then would take along time just to get back to 220.

so far im happy with product, really want to get some 95-100F high humidity weather to really put to test.
also take in mind my build, LSX YSI 1000rwhp build which generated alot more heat than some others.
I ordered the prospeed fans for my 2006 Z51 with stock radiator and 8 rib YSI and could not get the fan shroud to clear my supercharger head. Sent it back...How did you get it to fit?

Late to the party with install pics. The Mishi radiator fit better on my twin turbo C6 than a stock one did. I also blew enough dust out of my condenser to build another Car out of dirt so I recommend doing that while the opportunity presents itself.

Where did you get your radiator shroud cover from?

Hi, why other side?
I want to use a temperature regulated Oil adapter on the motor side which has dash 8 connectors. The mishimoto cooler has stock connectors, I found them not bad fast an easy to install but need something to conntect with them.
Greetings
