I've had good luck with C&R Racing Radiators over the years. They build radiators for almost every major Motorsports racing you can think of from NASCAR, Indy cars, sportsman truck & offroad. They did a custom unit in the 95' TT impala ss I'm having some issues with at the moment with the power (see post - disappointing Dyno results) however they worked closely with me on this build asked a ton of questions, emailed photos of the car & setup it was going in and sent blueprint drawings before they build to make sure everything is correct. They aren't cheap but their **** works / looks great!

The problem with stock radiators and 1000+ horsepower is the plastic factory end tanks. Lift a head, blow the side off the radiator, crash your car.

If you have the money to build a 1000+ horse combo, you should have the money to put an aluminum radiator in it. It's pretty much a common sense move to me, but what do I know? I run prochargers and typically try to get the heads to touch the fenders every time I go to the track.
