Default which radiator?

Its come down to the following three:

1) Charged Air Systems 14FPI = $449.99 (3 weeks to build)

2) BeCool f-body radiator = $525 (in stock at Summit)

3) SLP radiator = $200 (3 week wait)

I'm having a problem comming to a final decission. I can get the SLP radiator for $200 (cheap) or I can go all out and get the BeCool.

I'm worried that if I buy the SLP one, will it be enough to deal with 115 degree AZ summers? I would hate to buy it, only to find out it was not enough. How much more cooling would I get with the BeCool or Charged Air Systems than I would get with the SLP?

I don't "mind" paying the extra money if its going to give me a big gain.

I noticed your using the CAS now.....why it over the SLP?

How "bad" was the fit on the BeCool? What needed to be modified to make it fit?

Any idea how much HP the SLP unit can take?

What kind of a temperature drop did you see with the CAS radiator?
