stock vs aluminum radiators

ok i was just wondering how big of a difference an aluminum radiator is compared to the stock one.... my buddy put one in a mustang and it runs way cooler ....i know it will run cooler but i just want to know if the difference in temps is significant...

Yeah, i noticed difference in the temp of the engine after installing mine...

I would recommend it, you get a cooler running engine and less weight....
