It is widely known that the OEM super-charger cooling system on 6th generation Camaro ZL1's is inadequate. Even in stock form, the OEM system has a hard time keeping IAT's cool in hot climates or racing conditions. This problem is exponentially worse once you start turning up the boost, leaving little time before your ECM starts to pull timing which leaves a lot of power on the table, instead of at the tire where it belongs.
Griffin Motorsports takes a multi-stage multi-faceted approach to this solution offering a cost-savings package for every budget and power level.

- (2) GMS AUX Coolers w/ 5/8" Quick Connects
- Left and Right Black Aluminum Air Deflectors

What You will need to provide:
- Coolant, Tools, Patience and attention to detail for installation... or, someone like that, who you trust with your beloved, adorned, magnificent, earth shaking, alarm sounding ZL1.
- Basic hand tools. Although this can be done with one person, in a garage with jack stands, having an extra set of hands available to handle the front bumper fascia is helpful.
Design & Engineering
DMS High-Performance Heat Exchanger
The Stage.II solution starts with the most popular front HX on the market for the 6th gen Camaro. CSF teamed up with DMS to offer a huge upgrade for the Camaro ZL1 and CTS-V. This Heat Exchanger is the largest upgrade possible for both vehicles and offers a massive increase in core size and fluid volume. At more than 2 times the size of the factory heat exchanger, the DMS cooler greatly reduces the ZL1/CTS-V's heat soak issues.
GMS Auxiliary Radiators
GMS worked closely with the team at CSF to make some improvements to our existing #8207 design by removing the fixed GM quick connect fittings in favor of a pair of 10 ORB female bosses which gives you the flexibility to run the OEM 5/8" quick connects (included in the box), push lock or AN fittings of your choice. GMS also changed the finish so all three units match in color and provide uniform aesthetics as well as proven cooling results. The ORB bungs also allow you to remove the OEM 5/8" hose / fittings and upgrade to 3/4" between the AUX and Main HX by simply installing a 10 ORB to 12 AN adapter.
Note: In an effort to maximize the size of these units, cutting the upper bracket in one corner may be needed on some cars. Additionally, modifications will be needed for the 3/4" option depending on the fittings and preferred hose routing. This effort to upgrade to 3/4" fittings and hoses yielded us a 20% increase in flow using the factory pump!!!
DMS Fender Tank
The Dedicated Motorsports coolant expansion tank for the 2017-2024 Camaro ZL1 adds 2 gallons of additional coolant capacity. This additional volume will not only help keep intake air temps lower but it will also allow air to escape the system making the system more efficient overall. This tank also aids in filling/bleeding the system with the addition of a 1.5" Filler cap and the included funnel that aids in filling the tank through the fender opening. This is perfect for cars with Magnuson superchargers and no coolant fill port.
The DMS fender tank is constructed out of durable .125" aluminum, expertly tig welded in house at DMS and powdered coated in a satin black finish. It features -12 ORB inlet/outlet barbs with -12an ORB fittings allowing you to run 3/4" hose or upgrade to AN lines and fitting. The GMS Kit includes a pair of pre-made -12an feed and return lines along with all hardware for trouble free installation.
GMS High Flow Impact Bar
Rounding out the parts list is our signature High Flow Impact Bar which not only provides a clear view of your new massive DMS heat exchanger for a clear aesthetic improvement, but also the improvement in airflow.
Adding to this innovative patent pending design is a pair of custom two-piece CNC'd aluminum air deflectors that help prevent air from trapping at the bolt flanges. Rather, they channel to either the main or auxiliary coolers.
Outfitted with a heavy duty front tow hook coupler and treated to a matte black powder coated finish, this product was designed to offer a turn-key solution to improve a poorly designed OEM part. This product ships with installation instructions and hardware. Although this product was literally designed in the garage, this 3D modeled assembly is fabricated using precision laser cut parts for a professional fit. Note: This package ships in (3) separate boxes.
GMS vs OEM
Not only are all these parts more efficient and more durable than OEM but combined with the 2 gallon fender tank this kit holds approximately 2,050% more fluid than the OEM setup. The Stage.II system increases the overall fluid volume from 3 quarts to 12.25 quarts (or ~3 gallons). This greatly reduces heat soak and can keep your charge air system running optimally in almost any situation.
â Fitment Notes
2017-2024 Camaro ZL1: this unit will not fit with the PLM heat exchanger.
2017-2024 Camaro SS: This system can be installed on the 2017-2024 Camaro SS with minor modifications needed to the backside of the bumper by trimming 2 plastic clips. This is a great option for SS owners running aftermarket forced induction with an air-to-water intercooler/charge-air cooler setup.
Auxiliary Radiators: In an effort to maximize the size of these units, cutting the upper bracket in one corner may be needed on some cars. Additionally, modifications will be needed for the 3/4" option depending on the fittings and preferred hose routing. This effort to upgrade to 3/4" fittings and hoses yielded us a 20% increase in flow using the factory pump!!!
