Default ***FS RSD All Aluminum Radiators***

Anyone who wants their LS engine to run cooler should put one of these in their car and replace the thermostat reprogram the fans to reep the benefits of a cooler engine. Our Radiators are Dual Core 1 1/4" core, Total thickness 2 1/2". That is 2.5 times thicker than the stock radiators! In Most cases it is a direct replacement in your car. (The Cutdown radiators require a bit of fan shroud work.)



We also build a 3" cut down radiator for the Vortech and Procharger supercharger guys. With the 3" cut down unit you can use a 4" air filter pipe to increase boost in your supercharger instead of the restrictive plastice dongle.




All of our radiators are available with either oil coolers or Transmission coolers.

Do you sell the fans too, or recommend re-using the stock fan? Would the dual fans setup work with this?

I have never done the dual fans on this radiator. We have use the stock unit with a little trimming and fabrication on the gaps.

I sent you an email but received no answer. Maybe posting here is preferable. I'm strongly considering buying this and have a couple questions. Technically this is for a C5, but you sell rads for both, and this is the most recent thread you started, so...

1)

Do I want the 3" cut-down version for an MP112 magnuson supercharger?
It sits on top of my LS1 and doesn't seem to have any issues routing the intake pipe on the current stock radiator.

2)

How is the oil cooler integrated into the radiator?
Is one of the two cores devoted to the oil cooler, or is there a horizontal divide, or ...?
Apart from being simply curious, I want to make sure that if something leaks, I'm unlikely to mix coolant and oil and kill the engine.

3)

Does this radiator retain AC functionality? Are there difficulties moving the AC condenser forward to accommodate the thicker radiator?
