Default what radiator to buy?

I think I need to buy a better raidator to cool my stroker motor. i currently have a ford racing 2 row raidator (ordered from summit) with flex-a-lite's new electric fan (part number 187), 160 deg. high flow thiromostat, edelbrock water pump, 70/30 coolant mix with water wetter, and the car is still reaching 210 deg. in traffic and 200 on the highway, and sometimes hotter. whats the best raidator out there that isnt going to kill my bank account? thanks for the help.

I put a special service (Police) radiator in mine, its 4 core. Im runnin a 180 stat and i have no probs. And I am runnin 11.1 compression. Before i got this radiator my car would run HOT. These radiators are pretty cheap bout 200-250.

Man I wish they had a 4 core police radiator for the 4.6L Mustangs. Does FRPP carry a heavy duty radiator for the newer GT's?
