Default Cooling system

I just bought at 95 with a v1 vortech supercharger and the radiator is cracked. Any suggestions on some aftermarket ones? Also, intercooler needed? If so what kind? Where can I get them. I noticed AM has moshimoto ones, are those decent?

mishimoto radiators have a tendency to crack after only a year of use.

You will be fine with a stock replacement.

What about as far as an intercooler goes? Should I buy one of those universal ones?

That all depends on you. It will come down to how much money you are willing to spend, and what level of results you wish to attain. If you think you will be satisfied with mediocre performance from a "universal" intercooler, and are willing to spend the time and money fitting pipes to make it fit, then by all means, go for it!

However if you are more interested in getting the best performance, you should go with a quality same side inlet/outlet, top to bottom flow IC core, like the ones used in the Procharger kits (theirs arent same side inlet though). The piping will also be significantly easier to run.
