The Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) High Capacity Intercooler Radiator is designed to
improve the performance of the engine by reducing the charged air temperature at all RPM ranges
and duty cycles.
The system features a unique back to front double pass design to optimize heat transfer while
maintaining the same flow rate through the charge air cooling system.
This kit is designed to fit any 2010-2013 V8 Camaro that needs a liquid to air intercooler radiator,
whether it is a ZL1 Camaro or a Camaro SS using the stock ZL1, Magnuson, Edelbrock E-Force,
or Whipple superchargers or liquid to air equipped turbocharger kit equipped vehicle. Despite the
increased size, the LPE intercooler radiator has roughly the same coolant flow restriction as the stock
ZL1 intercooler radiator, making it compatible for use with the stock ZL1 intercooler fluid circulation
pump, the VariMax pump or the Bosch pump used in many of the above listed supercharger systems.
To maximize the performance of this intercooler radiator kit we recommend that vehicles equipped
with the Bosch or other similar intercooler pumps upgrade to the VariMax pump. The VariMax pump
provides the same flow as the production ZL1 pump, providing a 25% increase in flow over the Bosch
pump. Since the VariMax pump flows the same as the ZL1 pump, we do not recommend it for ZL1
applications. For applications that require an even higher flowing intercooler fluid circulation pump we
recommend the Stewart-EMP WP29 pumps (part # ST-E2512A or ST-1030002107).
WARNING: Due to the high flow rate of the Stewart EMP WP29 water pumps, changes to the
circulation system must be made in order to reduce pump inlet restriction if you want to use one of
these pumps. A custom reservoir must be made with a 1” hose going from the reservoir to the pump
inlet. The reservoir must be mounted above the pump and have as few bends as possible in the hose
from the reservoir to the inlet of the pump. Failure to perform these changes will result in significantly
reduced pump flow and potential pump failure. LPE is currently working on a reservoir design that will
allow the use of the Stewart EMP WP29 water pumps.
