Alright, Rich... even though you'll ignore me, I'll try to help you yet again.

A 4 core desert cooler should have no problem cooling a mild 400. Changing to an aluminum radiator is not going to make much of a difference. If you are not running a thermostat or restrictor then the water is just cycling through your radiator too fast for it to transfer the heat out of it.

They do make a high flow thermostat so you don't have to drill holes.

Rich, you make it very hard to help. You come on here asking the most basic of questions, looking for help on your car that is performing waaaaay below the level it should, and when people try to help you tell them they don't know what they're talking about and that you have a full understanding of the issue.
