Anybody Run AN fittings on the Cooling System?

I am converting my Griffin radiator to -20AN. I just picked up a billet specialities water neck and was wondering if there is a better water neck to use with my HSR and 58mm TB? I want a quality piece, so I figured the Billet Specialities would be the way to go. Anybody do this with a TPI configuration? What did you use for a waterneck? Here is a link to the waterneck I purchased.

For me it's always seemed like it would be more of an appearance mod than anything else, and with the price of large fittings and hose it's a pretty expensive one, too.

Yes it is to a degree. But I also want piece of mind when going 100+ at 6500 RPM that everything is holding together.

To be honest, if people are spending the $$ to swap to AN and SS lines for their cooling, they probably arent running TPI. I have a CSR billet waterneck on mine, though my pump is the Meziere remote mount type.
