Default Anyone using Griffin radiator/fan combo unit? work well? worth it

I am currently running a 408 with an F1 Procharger and have been trying to decide if I should get the radiator combo unit from Griffin that includes the fans and shroud or if there is a better alternative to the fans they use? My current configuration is a stock ls1 radiator with the single procharger fan.

I have been looking at Griffin the 1-58242-XLS radiator as a combo unit.

I definitely do not want to battle cooling issues after installation and want it right the first time. My budget is about $800 so spending that for a Ron Davis radiator is not an option.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running a Griffin radiator and 2 Derale pushers and it keeps it decently cool in those hot and humid summer months in the south.

Yeah, looks like they are using the better radiator in that kit. I have the cheap version (25241) of that radiator and it's a problem.

I'm using the Griffin 58242-XLS radiator with two Derale 16925 pusher fans. I only have about 150 miles on this setup but so far its worked great.
