Looking to upgrade the radiator to something a bit bigger and more efficient. I am assuming that at least one or two of you have gone down this path.

Here is the radiator mentioned in the thread. I believe there is another thread with the install of the radiator that goes over the additional parts you need for the installation but not sure.

CSF Radiator
CSF Oil Cooler

just want to point out if you google search for CSF radiator you'll find two options, CSF and CSF Race. You want the CSF Race option.

The lesser expensive CSF variant is a 11% wider at 30mm single row, which could help some but probably negligible, but the race is 42mm and 2-row which is almost double the cooling.

The one linked is the CSF Race one. The CSF website links to Quadratac to purchase it but they don't say CSR racing on Quadratec but it is the $700 one and listed as Heavy-Duty vs the other one that is like $300 I think.

@VA6489 Here is the link to the thread with the installation of the Radiator that I mentioned.

I have both csf rads in hand and will be installing them some time over the next month. Also got the Amazon 190 thermostat. https://a.co/d/0eSWwlOC. Will be using amsoil coolant boost and zerex heavy duty extended life yellow concentrate coolant (846439) after a full distilled water flush.
