Default Griffin 1-58241-XLS radiator up and forward

Has anyone used this when moving their radiator up and forward? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gri-1-58241-xls

I know the most common one is the 1-25241-X

What would be the advantages of one over the other?

I have one ordered for my car but it has not came in yet. The difference is it has 1.25" flues instead of 1" flues. It also is a dual pass radiator meaning the coolant will pass through the core twice before it exits, offering better cooling.

Looks like that is a better option seeing as how it has the steam port already on it the universal one does not.

Its only $200 more than the 25241. You could look at the 55241 and have a steam port welded on and still be cheaper. Unless you really want a dual pass

Better than that, I bought a generic NPT tap barb fitting from oreillys auto, drilled and tapped my radiator for the steam port, used thread tape and screwed her in. Done. Probably a $4 job in total if you already have the tools. Here is a pic of my up and really far forward setup. lol
