Afco has a nice 13X25 two row 3in core aluminum drag radiator for $230 that I have been wanting. If you take the surface area and times it by two rows (just speculating dont really know anything) it comes out to more surface area than the stock radiators we have. Summit sells these and if I go that route Im gonna give one a try. If that doesnt fit your app they also have one in a 21 in width.
They also have a twin electric fan that should fit that radiator on the summit website

I wouldnt think so, the radiator is made REALLY thin if pick it up you can see right through the fins to the other side, it is made for low wind resistance and light weight. I dont think it could cool a car continously

Someone posted up a pic of a rad that fits below the core support and in that area. Try doing a search on that, they mentioned that a lot of the ASCA teams run those rads.

My car has/had a 8 year old Griffin factory replacement aluminum radiator. Stenod Racing reworked it so that it stood vertical, no need to buy a new one.

Reworked the upper and lower radiator supports. Radiator I think recieved a tap with the hammer to get it to clear something stupid on the side, can't tell once installed and looks fine either way. Probably wouldn't even have to do that in most applications. I have pics in my sig.
