Some folks claim that this is just an LT1 radiator, but I have never been able to confirm this or find the correct application/part #...

Spring Hill.... you're just down the road from me...

I put one in my car when I did the v6 to v8 swap. I also converted it to a front breather at the same time.

I see 200 degree temps, for 20 minutes at at time on a road course, running it all out.

Around town I see temps of 180.

I'm making 390 rwhp. Cooling capacity is related to hp level. Just curious, what's your target number?

All it is is an LT1 radiator that they have already capped off the heater lines. On an LS1 the heater lines come off the pump not the radiator. Save your self the cash and buy an LT1 radiator and cap off the heater hose on the driver side. I get constant temps of 180 -184 with an electric pump, 160 thermostat and the fans set to come on sooner. It has double the capacity of the ls1 radiator.

I think the slp was 300 and I can get a lt1 locally for 165. Pretty good savings considering all you need to do is add some caps to the heater outlets.
