Default Radiator help

Can you use your stock fans or do you need a new fan to use the be cool radiator the ws6 store has for manual cars

"Be Cool" radiator won't do anything better than an LT1 radiator will, regardless of what they say. Waste of money for the Be Cool. LT1 radiator is a direct bolt in, same fans, 30% more cooling capacity than the LS1 radiator.

You use the stock fans. Got radiator in sig because it is as good but much less jack than a BC.

LS6427, how is one that that has two one inch cores no better than a radiator with a single one inch core?

If you have a porperly operating factory LS1 cooling system, it will keep the temps very cool. Over the years, people who use "Be Cools" simply have not had any spectacular results. I'm sure people will say they have though. I was going to get one years ago and learned this from dozens of people who have tried them.

If you want to do the best upgrade you can do to your cooling system, that will give you results and you will run cooler.....get an LT1 radiator. Its a direct replacement, same coolant level sensor port...its 100% identical in every way to the LS1 radiator..except an extra port that you cap off and it has 30% more cooling capacity.

Cap that extra port off and your done. Its identical to the LS1 as far as fitment.
