Best aftermarket radiator?

Who makes the best radiator for automatics?

I'm adding a supercharger and ported heads so I'll need to keep this thing cool.

My friend had a Griffin and he said it was crap.

I've got a Be Cool and love it. Install is easy, fits ALMOST like stock one.

I've also have a Be Cool installed and the fit was very good. Very nice unit.

Stock. My roomate's SS (LT4 top end + twin intercooled D1SC) only ran a little warmer than it did before the supercharger. And what caused that was his car is lowered w/ ground effects, so his air damn is shorter PLUS he trimed the Wings West airdamn shorter and had to trim the sides off to clear the twin intercoolers. Bone stock cooling system.

The stock cooling systems in these cars are pretty stout. My buddy w/ a 94 Z running blower cam, ported AFR 190's, and a non-intercooled A-trim (yes, Vortech used to offer the A-trim for our cars years ago), still w/ a stock cooling system. And he daily drove this thing in the summer, until after years of abuse (nitrous before the supercharger), finally caused a rod to start knocking. His 383 goes in shortly....again w/ a bone stock cooling system.

My cooling system is simply stock w/ a CSI waterpump. Runs very cool.
