Best Radiator?

Im going to be upgrading my radiator soon and im wondering what you guys think is the best radiator out there right now. A radiator that is good for over 100 deg weather in traffic or a good beating on the track/in the mountins. I much rather pay a few hundred more for the best radiator over a few thousand for a engine rebuild.

Also, while were on the subject of cooling. I know that the stock ast is bound to blow up soon and im wondering whats best. A lot of people say pettit ast while others say an elimination kit. What are the pros/cons of elimination?

Thanks, you guys are awsome

I love my Koyo. It's double the thickness of stock. Was cheaper than the fluidyne. Adds more coolant capacity to our systems. Not much, but better than nothing. I use that and the FC thermoswitch along with Purple Ice. I can sit at a dead stop in the summer heat with the ac on and never go over 200 F. Replace your thermostat while you're at it. It's only about 10 bucks. Money well spent. I say keep the ast, but there have been plenty of heated debates here already.

I've got a fluidyne and it works great too. I'm very pleased with it. Also, just replace the AST, its cheap, quick and easy. No need for elimination.

Regarding best brand, any of them are just fine. Since your in nor carl, you can get one from Rotary Extreme.
