Default which dual-cooler radiator?

Hey all!

Need some advice on a radiator upgrade for my '08.

Specifically, the LG Motorsports radiator vs. its' Dewitts or Ron Davis counterparts with EOC/TOC's.

Is the LG rad that much better to warrant the $500 premium in price? It's not in a hardcore track car. But it is for a 600whp FI LS3...gets pretty warm in the summer sun...warmer than I'm comfortable seeing regularly.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Can't go wrong with Dewitts.

I run that in my 1000hp Z.

Use DeWitts for my track car. Rarely gets above 210* even on 97* days. Best value out there.

DeWitts with left side EOC in mine! Best buy out there IMHO, Very high quality and easy install and does exactly what it's supposed to!

Thanks guys. I wasn't really asking for recommendations. More that I wanted to know the construction differences, if any, between the different aftermarket radiators and why prices varied so widely. ($700-$1200)

The LG is what I wanted, but wasn't too happy on the retail price. So I was looking at DeWitts and wanted to know the difference. I ended up getting a killer deal on a used LG Super Cool rad though.
Should be here this week.

Now I just gotta figure out what fittings I'm going to need to plumb the EOC and TOC to my F55 LS3/A6. (non-Z51) I've already got about 25' of braided lines.
