many alum radiators to choose from, depends on your budget, anywhere from 250 shipped to $600+.
I have a 500+hp stroker pontiac that i use a basic champion 3 row radiator with the stock fan/shroud set up, cools the car excellent in almost any driving situation or outside temps.
while i dont live in the desert, i can drive the car anywhere or do drag racing all day long, i live in the midwest & we get mid 90's with high humidity, im not sure of the numbers but higher humidity is harder to cool an engine than low humidity. regardless of that, the champion is a very nice radiator with a no hassle lifetime warranty, i had one that developed a small leak, not the radiators fault... champion sent a new radiator to install along with a prepaid return label for the old one... no down time or hassles at all. pretty sure most other brands wont do that, have to return the old one first then get a replacement.
There are better radiators but for a lot more money, champions get very good reviews & they are a easy drop in replacement. i would stick with the stock fan/shroud set up, way more reliable & from what ive read will cool as good or better than the majority of electric fans.
