88 FC T2 Overheating and Radiator advice

Excuse me Sirs, I just bought an 88 FC3S Turbo II. When it runs it runs well, I've punched it and we fly fiarly well, but we're having some overheating problems. I'm planning to replace the radiator and I've heard some good things about Koyo, but I was also considerring trying out the Godspeed Project parts, but before I make that purchase I wanted to know if anyone has any advice or suggestions. The stock radiator remains fairly cool on one side but is hot on the other so rather than try to fix it, I'd rather get the best I can with a decent price. My pay grade isn't exactly stellar. Thanks for your time everyone. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any suggestions. i've always wanted an FC and finally having one is making my day. It's got a lot of miles on it and has already been rebuilt once. I plan on replacing the motor in about a year and a half so I'm just trying to get it good enough to be my daily driver for a while. Thanks again.

I don't have any first hand experience with either of those radiators but through second hand information, I have heard no negatives with either. There are some minor fitment issues associated with all aftermarket parts but nothing Earch shattering. As far as I know, the only true bolt in aftermarket radiator is the Fluidyne but you will pay for that.

Ok. I appreciate that Mister Cake. When I finally get some leave I'll get to work on installing the Godspeed radiator and hoses I'm ordering. I'll let anyone know who cares by posting it's pictures up.
