Raidaitor max cooling

I am looking into getting an aftermarket raidatior and I do NOT want to heavily modify anything to make it fit (91 Z28 Camaro)

What is your guys opinoin on what is the best to replace it with 3-core??? 4-core????? any aftermarke brand to look into that is not too expiencive..

All that I have seen so far is the alum. that are WAY too much $$$ and a 3-core that is not bad but its not really "HP" though (flow and so on)

thanks

I agree, those rads are way too expensive. When i needed a new rad I just got a direct replacement aluminum for like $120, and also got an adjustable fan relay, car never gets hotter than the temp I set the fans to come on at.

I'm not to sure if this applies to newer 3rd gens or not. I ditched my copper core for a Milodon Aluminum core from CarQuest. Cost less than $200.
