Default Need more cooling.....

Where are you guys getting larger aluminum radiators for 4th gens? The added cubes of the LSX and the loose converter are taking its toll on the stock radiator. The longer I cruise on the highway it just continues to climb. Any tips on where to look? Thanks.

I don't know how well it works but I know the LT1 rad is about 3/16" thicker than the LS1 rad. I actually have one I planned on using but haven't had a problem as of yet so its just sitting in the garage.


EDIT: after looking its more like a 1/2" bigger!! I can post some pics later tonight.

b-cool is good . i have seen folks make small fins to add to the bottom of the black air dam . if you really want to get in it , remove the front bumper and on the bottom drill some holes in the bottome frame . you might be able to drill a few more holes in front of the black air dam .

Are you running a thermostat? If so, get rid of it.

I ended up with the AFCO double pass from Burkhart....its the ****, plain and simple. Once on the highway I don't even use the fans at all. FAR, FAR, superior to what I was trying to use.
