143, 3 core

Would AWR really cool it that much better? enough to make it work the extra 382 dollars?

 

If u have the money do it.

 

Frontal area is more important than the number of cores.

 

Im figuring I'll do it I was just wondering if it worth it? The statements above are true but would their be a noticeable difference on the temp gauge if i went from stock to AWR?

 

That overpriced AWR POS is barely any better than the other one you have listed. As someone stated, surface area is important. In my experience, the stock full height radiator is better than the Ron Davis AWR sells.

If you have a genuine need for more cooling, look for something cross flow...two pass helps cooling and makes the coolant lines easier. For lazy factor, the radiator iscracing sells is $150 cheaper than that AWR, and will cool as good as anything. In a street car, you'd probably live on the thermostat.
