It might get up to 115 deg here in Central Valley in July/Aug....I will do another test then. If ambient is 122 deg F.....ALL bets are off on a Stock Radiator keeping the LT5 cool in stop and go traffic with AC ON. Even with AC OFF it might be wishfull thinking with a stock radiator.

I think the Ron Davis would handle it given how fast the Coolant Temperatures dropped when the fans came on at 205 deg F Coolant Temperatures during an idling test with AC FULL On in 100 deg F ambient.

I will watch for a HOT day in the Central Valley or take the ZR1 down to ZFdoc in Cave Creek, AZ on a HOT day to pick up my rebuilt ZF S6-40 Transmisison
