Is the $165 radiator really good enough?
Correct me if I'm wrong but if you have the 25241x, which is 3" thick? Then maybe the 55241xs would be a great option as it's core is 2.5" thick vs the 55241x at 3" thick?
(Just going off summits website for measurements.)

it was very tricking finding that half inch on the setup i was dealing with as well
this was with the thinner (25241) radiator, ended up have to section out the plastic cage and and the compressor housing dipped through a little. no contact though. the core is .5" thicker from the center so you really only have to find a quarter inch depending on your clearance issues. still can be a pain in the *** though

Decided to go with the 55241. Seems like its cheap insurance to hopefully avoid issues.
Also summit said the 1/4" larger tube will support 250hp more over the standard 1". Not sure if that's true seeing as they wouldn't give me a hp 'rating' for either one lol.

I also put this radiator in my car when it was procharged thinking it would work better than the stock one. Car ran hotter and blew a head gasket. Couldnt use ac at all with this radiator as temps would just climb. At that point is where i deleted the ac and heater box. Worst thing i ever did along with a pin on hood.
Kvelasco, you had the 25241?
Finally got an email back from griffin. They said the 1" tubes are conservatively rated to 400 n/a hp. And the 1-1/4" tubes rated conservatively to 600 n/a hp. I'm guessing with FI they can be pushed more then an n/a set up and still be efficient...?
Glad I went with the 55241.
I searched for the 85241 but couldn't find one anywhere.
