Going with Griffin radiator, a few ?'s So it looks like most people on here are using the Griffin radiator
I have a few questions for those who are running this... Mainly looking for part numbers on the coolant hoses needed and what size fans are you running? Will the stock fans work?
My air filter pipe which is rather large is my only concern about the actual fitment, but I'm sure it, or the radiator placement can be tweaked.

I was talking to Mike-David about the possibility of some work on the air dam. I think part of the up draft actually hits the bottom edge of the radiator. That, coupled with the fact that the plastic over the A/C condenser can't be used in this arrangement is making life rough. If the condenser was gone, that black plastic can go back in and would help. Right now, that air just moves up and under the hood, not through the radiator. You can see it logging as well. The car doesn't cool down on the freeway. Fans won't help that.

From what I've been told and read, it seems to be the most common one used. I was wondering about cooling capabilities of it myself. I'm hoping to be able to avoid this until next year.

His current radiator is on an extreme slant because of the large hard-pipe inlet to the F1 though.
