    Justin I got a name from some guys here and the company really hooked me up with a 4 core radiator. So far its doing great. I haven't heated up once. You can email me and I'll share the info with you:Handshake

    If you have a taurus fan/shroud on the front of your rad (pushing air in) You have created a large blockage to airflow causing your car to heat up. Eliminate the mechanicle fan and install the taurus fan/shroud assembly behind (pulling air) the radiator and I guarantee you will see a difference in temps. Provided the rest of your cooling system is in good shape...Good luck!!!
