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?

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.
