Re: a new radiator

Honestly the OEM radiator provides PLENTY of cooling capacity. I use a stock radiator on my setup and it works excellent, and I have no plans of "upgrading." There is no need to spend several hundred bucks on a Griffin especially when a good stocker works fine.

Yessir, the stocker can support big HP, thanks mostly in part to the fans and the reverse flow cooling capabilities of the LT1. Don't sweat it.

Re: a new radiator

Stock is fine. Clean all the crap out of your A/C condenser while you're in there and make sure all the shrouding is securely in place.
