The Koyo Al. rad is THE best, but some people have fitment problems.

Do a search on radiators you should be able to find a lot of good info. My vote goes to the fluidyne. Good quality and drops right in with no fitment issues.

Here is the lowdown on Radiators.

Fluidyne, M2 and PWR are identical. Only difference is the name. Koyo is thicker than the others and there will be some fitment issues if you use it in the stock location.

Does the koyo being thicker help at all with temps? Yes the PWR is purty .

It can hold more fluid I assume, but how well does it cool? Baring fitment, does koyo or fluidyne cool better?

Fitment with Aftermarket Intercooler?

How do these bigger ones fit with the (really) big M2 stock mount intercooler?

I have that IC, but haven't installed it yet. I was thinking of doing the IC and radiator at the same time, since the IC will be out might as well do the rad then too.
