I plan on getting a Fluidyne myself. But they're mostly the same.. You could try a KOYO rad. or the SRMotorsports' competetion rad.

I've got the Koyo Radiator...cheapest aluminum one they had...and thick as ****. You'll probably have some fittiment problems with it, but nothing out of the ordinary.

i was going to go with the fluidyne due to i believe it is an american product (supporting our economy) but the fluidyne has a 30mm core, where-as the koyo has a 50mm core. both are huge but i feel now the koyo is better...

Go with a Koyo radiator for the simple fact that Fluidyne is super great but its more based for trace comditions... where KOYO IS STREET RACE DESIGN AND YOU SAVE YOURSELF ABOUT 100 DOLLARS. second you want to be the man when it comes to water pump get the Meziere electronic h2o pump with adaptor block from summit racing more horse power and the price is $250 for street app. and $265 for race app. plus adaptor block is $90 bucks but man it looks sweet!!!!
