are you wanting to upgrade or replace the orginal for some reason??
The SE would have the short rad but is 3 row, same as in my car and I've not had an issue with temps

I live in Vegas so an upgrade is what I am looking for. I have also put msd blaster2 coils upgrade wires, a weber 48 DCO2/sp and I'm upgrading to RB street port full exhaust. And I plan on doing exery possible engine mod I can so eventually I will need it too. Thank you for the sites too.

Umm look at my location lol, I have had zero issues running the stock radiator granted mine is not typically a daily driver when it does come out it's driven kind of hard and has working a/c. We have a local club member that has run Auto-x with a stock rad and a 13B in his SA and has zero issues during summer months

if she's running just bring her, meet location is determined using a Poll with members voting for one of 4 locations.

Check you PM's

I haven't installed it yet, but it looks very nice.
