Looking for a new radiator..what are my options

Need a new radiator for my stroker. Looking at around 11.5-12.0:1 compression and about a 100-150 shot at the most so I want to make sure the motor runs cool enough. Also running an elec water pump..not sure if that changes anything. What ever I get I'm putting watter wetter in it to help. Would a stock one do or do I need to upgrade? Thanks

I just ordered a Griffin from Summit. 27 X 19 for $189. It'll take a custom mount, but should be better than stock and at a good price. Same size, tubes and cooling as the becool they get 525 for...

I don't think it is worth the money for a new radiator. I am currently running a stroked 383 with 14.5:1 compression, with 557 fwhp,with a stock radiator. I drive this set up on the steet on occasion,in the middle of summer,stoped at a stop light , and temp never goes above 200.
