CSF 05-13 Chevrolet C6 Corvette Base/Grand Sport/427/Z06 All-Aluminum Radiator

The CSF 05-13 Chevrolet C6 Corvette Base/Grand Sport/427/Z06 All-Aluminum Radiator represents a significant advancement in cooling technology tailored specifically for the C6 Corvette lineup. Designed with precision and engineered to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance driving, this radiator is the result of a strategic collaboration between CSF and A&A Corvette, a partnership that brings over two decades of Corvette-specific expertise to the development process. The radiator is engineered to be compatible with all C6 Corvette trims, accommodating a wide array of modifications and upgrades, thereby offering a versatile solution for owners seeking enhanced cooling performance and reliability.

The core innovation lies in the radiator’s substantially increased cooling capacity, featuring a 193% larger volume than the original factory radiator. This is achieved through a 2-row, 52mm aluminum core that not only increases fluid capacity but also improves heat dissipation efficiency. The core incorporates CSF's exclusive B-Tube Technology, which enhances heat transfer by approximately 15% compared to traditional oval welded tubes. Complementing this, the 8mm tall, multi-louvered fins maximize airflow, optimizing the radiator’s ability to maintain optimal engine temperatures under demanding conditions. This design is particularly beneficial when paired with intercoolers and other heat exchangers commonly used in supercharger and turbocharger setups, ensuring superior thermal management for enhanced performance and engine longevity.

Constructed entirely from TIG-welded aluminum, the radiator offers superior structural integrity and durability compared to the original equipment (OE) plastic tank design. This robust construction ensures that the radiator can withstand the stresses of hard driving and high horsepower applications without compromising reliability. The radiator’s design also incorporates a slightly reduced core height, providing necessary clearance for supercharger installations without the need for core trimming or modifications. This thoughtful engineering eliminates the risk of weakening the radiator’s structural integrity, a common issue with aftermarket solutions that require cutting or bending of the header plate.

Installation is streamlined through the use of factory-style fittings and mounting points. All connections, including those for the integrated engine oil cooler and automatic transmission cooler, adhere to OEM specifications, facilitating a true plug-and-play experience. The radiator is compatible with models equipped with these coolers, and for vehicles without them, the fittings can simply remain unplugged without affecting the radiator’s performance. The CNC-machined fan shroud mounting points and reinforced mounting pins with cotter pin holes further enhance installation security and durability, accommodating all original fan configurations and supporting the A&A Corvette Top Shroud.

CSF has integrated high-efficiency cooling solutions for both the engine oil and automatic transmission systems directly into the radiator. The engine oil cooler utilizes a 4-plate design optimized for high flow and low pressure drop, while the transmission cooler employs a 6-plate configuration engineered for maximum heat dissipation. These integrated coolers provide enhanced thermal management for critical drivetrain components, supporting motorsports applications such as track racing, drifting, and drag racing without compromising radiator cooling efficiency.

The radiator’s compatibility extends to all OEM and aftermarket intake systems, including ram air intakes, ensuring seamless integration into various performance setups. Its satin finish not only provides a professional appearance but also contributes to corrosion resistance, enhancing the radiator’s longevity. Each unit undergoes rigorous individual leak and pressure testing to guarantee quality and reliability before shipment.
