Cooling issue / question on LS7 build? I had my car out today in 90 degree weather and it started to overheat. On the highway it was ok, not great but on the slower roads and stoplights the temperature gauge would start to go up. I wasn't sure if I have another issue or is this because of the bigger motor?
Do most people upgrade the radiator on stroker builds? Thanks

Radiator Yes I think you should upgrade the Radiator as the original Rad. is about 1" thick.
I went with a 2" core Alum Radiator from a dude off of ebay.
It's like this one,
