LG Motorsports C7 Super Cool Radaitor
Hey guys,
One more sneak peek before the big 20th Birthday Bash at the National Corvette Museum event next week.
We will be on track testing our new C7 Stingray Super Cool Radiator. After doing some testing with our suspension packages we noticed that the car was running a bit on the warmer side when pushed to the limits so testing started on our new radiator which you see below.
You can see it in person next week at Bowling Green with full results and pricing released in September!
It doesn't look like a DeWitt so what are the specs. on the core? I assume it'll be an all aluminum drop-in replacement but are you considering a dual fan setup & losing those flapper valves? I can see in stock form there's about an inch of extra space to work with for a larger core, fans, or whatever.
GM's design on raising the operating temps they completely missed the human factor. Sure, you can design an engine, it cowling, ignition coils, wiring, etc. to handle the elevated temps but you can't change a human's level of what's tolerable. No one likes to even stand beside a C7 after it's been running & I catch myself throwing the hood up every time get to the house. I can't drive the vette directly into the garage else the garage will be 100° all evening.
I believe the car can handle the temps but it's everything else you own that is used in support of the car that wasn't designed with these temps. in mind. So I'd interested in anything that could be used to recalibrate my temps.

We do all of our own designs and construction on the radiators and this one is no different.
I'll put specs down once all testing has been finished in-case there are any changes after the event.

After looking at the radiator with my glasses on, the radiator looks like you extended the core all the way to the very edge & almost eliminated the end caps. This would suggest a labyrinth'd or multiple pass design. At least not a simple in & out radiator. The two ports on the lower left side are for the oil, correct?
