Default Anybody making a racing radiator for the C7 yet?

Seeing the water temps being reported on the track it looks like an upgraded radiator will eventually be needed. Is there one out there already or coming soon?

If I am not mistaken the oil is also cooled off the glycol loop as well so I would assume a better performing radiator will result in better oil temps as well.

Yeah I have a supercharger and I take it to the track. Temps get really hot after couple of sessions.. not helping my intake temps either I'm sure..

Can't wait for a better one

I'm excited to see if DeWitt's will be coming out with one soon. I looked into it last month, but they weren't yet working on one.

I am really surprised one isn't out yet, a lot of people buy these cars for the track.
