Radiator 87 GXL

What would be a good replacement for the stock radiator in the GXL?

I've been told an all Aluminum Radiator and these 3 makers, Fluidyne, Koyo, K2RD.

i would like others opinions on these radiators and a good place to buy them or others you recamend

You will hear many opinions but I still like my Fluidyne Radiator on my 88GXL. I really like the detail put Into the RAD. It cools 1/3 better and I do In fact notice better performance due to under hood temps being cooler.

I found http://www.absoluteradiator.com/ to sell them the cheapest. Perhaps someone else could back this point up for me?

That's hillarious. "No Life" begins at 750. I guess It's true than I have no life.

anyone know about auto-car-radiators.com?
cheap prices, but that makes me wonder what they are really selling, no info on them that i could see

133.96 is what i've seen, that makes me think its a stock rad, but it says it isn't....

I've got the Koyo rad, haven't installed it yet, but it looks like a nice quality piece.

Will advise after install.

So you decided on a radiator? I have the fluidyne and have to say it is an incredible piece. The other website you listed is just stock replacement ones. Aftermarket yes, but not an upgrade in any way and possibly a downgrade. Oh and I bought my fluidyne from www.absoluteradiator.com too.
