CSF High Performance Radiator for the C6 Corvette (7223)
The Corvette has been the king of out of the box, best bang for your buck performance for decades. The C6 Corvette specifically has been the go to choice for countless enthusiasts. Between bolt-on performance upgrades, and other aftermarket support, it is one of the most commonly modified sport car platforms in the country.
The LS is one of the greatest performance motors ever made. It is simple, well engineered, and nearly bulletproof. It is not uncommon to see them pushing well over 1000hp and are more than capable of competing in any type of racing. However, racing, and additional power can easily overwhelm the factory cooling systems on the C6 Corvette. CSF set out to produce a radiator that would fit all trims and work with all the common supercharger systems.
Design & Engineering
CSF is quite familiar with GM performance vehicles so creating a high-performance radiator for the C6 Corvette made a lot of sense. Also given the age of the C6, there are a lot of owners ready to upgrade or looking to replace their original radiators. The goal was to create a model that could fit all of the C6 Corvette trims and work with the majority of upgrades and modifications. CSF teamed up with A&A Corvette to develop this radiator. As experts exclusively developing products for Corvettes for over 20 years, they were the perfect R&D Partner for this radiator.
This new design coupled with a core that has 193% more volume than the factory radiator offers a massive upgrade in cooling capacity. The CSF Radiator also offers the best value of any aftermarket radiator coming in hundreds of dollars less than competitors.
CSF vs OEM
The original OE radiator from Chevy features plastic tanks with a single row aluminum core design. While this is generally accepted as good quality and durable, it is not the best option for high horsepower builds and hard driving. Big V8s get hot, and the LS is no exception. Anything you can do to help keep temperatures in check will improve longevity of your motor and components.
The CSF C6 Corvette Radiator uses a 193% larger 2-Row 52mm aluminum core. This both increases the fluid capacity of the radiator, and improves the cores ability to dissipate heat. CSF’s Exclusive B-Tube Technology increases the heat transfer by approximately 15% over regular oval welded tubes. In addition, the 8mm super-efficient multi-louvered fins maximize airflow through the core for the best possible performance. The improved airflow characteristics of the CSF core offers superior cooling when paired with intercoolers and heat exchangers installed in front for supercharger and turbo kits.
