Default Griffin Radiators

Anyone know anything about Griffin radiators? Has anyone installed this on your car? Are you pleased with its performance? It's expensive so I'm wondering if it's really worht the cost? Is aluminum really superior to bass, copper, etc.

Yes, aluminum rads are more efficient. I got my Griffin before the major price hike, but if I had to buy one today I'd get a Fluidyne because they are just as good but cheaper.

My brass rad works just fine, but I don't have a hotrod.

I got my Northern aluminum from a local rad shop for $300. I really don't see the need for high priced griffen or fluidyne when the cheaper ones work just as good.
