Default Looking to buy an aluminum radiator

Any suggestions, I've been looking at the Ford Motorsport and the fluidyne dual bank radiators from summit. Any others I should consider would be great. Stock replacement and would like to upgrade to a supercharging in the future.

I have the mishimoto aluminum radiator and it works great. Even with my crappy fan it kept it cooler.

I'm running the Mishimoto as well, works like a charm.

If your brass radiator doesn't leak or isn't clogged keep it.That brass stocker is capable of cooling all the way up to 450-500hp

Make sure the lower air damn is in tact,this will keep you cool on the highway. Also if your going to add a blower the centrificals run hot.Go with the brass radiator,stock 9 blade plastic fan & the DSO Police issue fan clutch.Also keep the stock fan shroud on too,this will centeralize the air on the radiator for you.

This will keep you at 190 all day long.
