So i am trying to decide what radiator to go with.....

I am going all out and replacing every single part of my car so i dont care what it costs, i just want what will cool my car the best...

Pretty much my car will be a romp around town for fun and take up the mountain and back car and nothing else, so i dont need it for reliablity just maximum "coolness" (haha puns)....

So what do you all suggest i go with a larger than stock copper radiator or a large aluminum rad?


All peoples input as to why and why not would be appreciated! I dont want my engine to ever get hot!


Thanks as always guys!

I just had this very conversation with the guy that repaired my rad at his shop. Go copper! Aluminum cannot dissapate heat as fastt or as well as copper PERIOD. Aluminum looks nicer, but to quote the man " racers use it alot because at strictly high speed driving you already have enough airflow through the rad to keep it cool with any metal, and aluminum is lighter. But for actual daily driving and cooling capacity it doesn't compare to copper." He went on to explain it takes a larger aluminum rad to cool the same as a smaller copper one etc., but the gist is...... If you want cooling, go copper.

Awsome! I have been told pretty much the same from the two people i have talked to as well.. Just thought i would throw the question up here as well to get a "poll" type answer..

Hmmmm what will be the best "mod-able" radiator... Somthing four core, and from a big block me thinks
