Default Aftermarket Radiator

I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket radiator from LFP...but I wanted to check w/ those of you that have one or another one and see if there is a significance decrease of heat over the stock ones and if anyone has had any problems w/ the LFP and if so wat brand do you recommend...thanks in advance

I would start with the HE radiator first IMO! ...stock radiator pretty good!

I kno they are seperate systems but i was wondering if the aftermarket radiator is that much better than a stock one... i just wanted to change out both at the same time...i figured it'd be easier that way

...I'm sure it will help if you're doing a lot of racing...If you want to spend the extra $$$, won't hurt IMO! ...pretty easy to change as well...
