Description
The CSF High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator (CSF part number 8028) is engineered specifically for the supercharged 6.2L Cadillac CTS-V, delivering significantly improved cooling performance for both street-driven and track-focused vehicles. Backed by over 50 years of radiator manufacturing expertise, CSF designs this radiator to meet the demands of high-horsepower builds, aggressive driving, and motorsports environments where thermal management is critical.
This radiator features a 2-row, 42mm dual-core design utilizing CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology. Unlike traditional oval “O-style” tubes, CSF’s B-shaped tubes are seam-brazed and structurally stronger, allowing thinner aluminum walls that reduce weight while increasing cooling efficiency. The B-Tube design increases the tube heat transfer surface area by approximately 15 percent compared to conventional tubes, delivering the cooling efficiency of two smaller tubes within the same space. This configuration also enables dual liquid laminar flow for improved heat dissipation.
CSF pairs the advanced tube design with ultra-efficient, multi-louvered aluminum fins that are precisely aligned to maximize airflow through the core. Fin dimensions and spacing are application-specific and validated through wind-tunnel testing to ensure maximum heat rejection efficiency under real-world and high-load conditions.
Designed as a true drop-in replacement, this CSF radiator requires no cutting, trimming, or fabrication. CNC-machined OE-style brackets and fittings provide precise fitment and long-term durability. The inlet and outlet connections match factory specifications, allowing reuse of OEM or aftermarket hoses. An all-aluminum race-style drain plug and smooth satin finish complete the high-performance construction.
For CTS-V owners seeking maximum cooling reliability without sacrificing fitment or build quality, the CSF 8028 radiator delivers proven performance you can trust.
