Upgrade Radiator?

[bynumj]

I am getting my radiator replaced and the insurance is paying for it. Should I have it replaced with the OEM or upgrade? If I upgrade, I will have to pay the extra cost. What would you do and what kind would you get?

Also, I am installing the following within the next couple of weeks:
-Vortech V3 Non-cooled
-CMDP
-160* Thermostat

Upgrade now while you're at.

+1 especially since yo're running w/o an intercooler. Remember F/I adds an element of heat and stress to your motor so to keep things cool you should consider always a radiator upgrade and an oil cooler.

Just my personal recommendation.

+2, might as well while you're at it. How much are they giving you? You can get some of those radiators cheep off of e-bay.

They are giving me $200 for the radiator. I think I will go with the AFCO radiator. I can get it at summit racing for $300 plus $12 s/h.
