Aftermarket Heat exchanger question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Do u guys get them with fans or without ? Has anyone used the nitrous spray bar that’s made to spray the heat exchanger? Does the nitrous mess up the heat exchanger ? Are the fan worth getting with let’s say the AFCO heat exchanger ?

I have a Ron Davis, no fans, no nitrous. Works great.

Nitrous might work but with nitrous prices today that might not be worth it. If you do a lot of drag racing the fans are nice. You can run them in the staging lanes with the car off if you wire them right. The Afco heat exchanger by itself is a great mod. Pair that up with a reservoir and you're set. The most important thing in cooling is making sure the system is filled properly. We find a lot of cars low on fluid. I see you're local. If you need an install or any of the parts hit us up.

I am running the one from Livernois without fans and have a reservoir also. It works great even for drag racing in the hot humid down here.

I have the afco with fans and the rotofab reservoir, I have it all wired up to run the pump and fans with the ignition off, works great!!!!

I used the KDI 4" thick intercooler and made my own reservoir. I feel that the fans work better for drag cars, no need for them on a street car. But the reservoir is a must! The KDI intercooler was easy to install and I liked the fact it has a air bleed port, I fitted a permanent hose to it from the reservoir.

Hey now,

Will a 09 - 15 ctsv with a lsa after market heat exchanger fit in a 13 zl1? I have a l ctsv weapon x heat exchanger but have no idea if they are interchangeable with a zl1.

Thanks
