Who has this Performance Radiator??

I called them today and they have a 3-row radiator that will fit my 89 IROC with auto tranny. The guy said I should only have to shave the lower rubber mounts, but I rather hear someone else's experience. Also will this radiator keep my 383 cool enough with a 160 stat?

I have a performance radiator, all I did was slide it in. It seems to fit fine. Aluminum 3 core, I'm very happy with it. I did have to go back out to their warehouse and buy one of their caps though.

my car usually runs around 160 normal driving with the fan on. Around 180 on very hot days with the fan on sitting at a light.
