Well, actually ANYTHING is better than a stock Fox radiator. But an aluminum radiator usually has wider tubes. This creates a larger tube to fin contact area. Not to mention they are about 50% lighter than the stock ones.

weight and heat displacement are probably the two things with aluminum intakes. aluminum is lighter and will cool quicker

It's like everyone else already said, you replace one bottle neck and then move onto the next. Essentially an engine is an air pump, the more air you can move into and out of your engine the more power you will make. The problem comes when you start at the back and work your way forward. To much exhaust can rob you of power because too little back pressure will move yoru power peak into an unusable range if the intake is still too restrictive.
