Default Turbo Fox's what radiator? Your cooling setup?

I know bigger is better but just curious if anyone is using a factory size radiator (2row) ... My car came with a aluminum 2 row and im kicking around the idea of using it with contour electric fans. I need to decide on this soon so i can get the radiator and fans mounted and run my downpipe.

Single turbo fox with 6.0 (408) t6 turbo, heat wrapped, factory ls1 camaro water pump , front mount intercooler

Please post your cooling setups..

Also using fbody rad and fans and it keeps my turbo lq4 nice and cool with the ac on in hot FL heat, idling it will reach 185 at the hottest and on the interstate at 80 it will reach 195-200 at the hottest.

Late 80's IROC Radiator. I have it on my NA setup and fits perfect. My buddy uses it on his LQ4 Turbo GN.

Fits the Intrepid Twin Fan Setup you can get from Ebay for $85. Rad was only like $90 new from Advanced

F body radiator and huge high dollar cooling fan, 33x12x3 fmic, 5" downpipe between the radiator/fan and motor, goes over to the passenger side. Stays cool unless you start wailing on it and then it'll instantly climb to 220* and hang there for awhile. I don't care for it. I'm going to replace the radiator with something that has a thicker core and in/out on the passenger side so I can eliminate the aluminum radiator pipe that has to go clear over to the driver's side of the radiator. If that doesn't solve the cooling problems then I'm going to completely redo the turbo kit I built and am currently using.
