And to add to this, a 650hp car that runs 10 secs generally doesn't need a massive radiator, especially for "nyc" weather. I realize I don't know you're specific setup, maybe you're just looking to upgrade which is cool, but you didn't state if there was an actual issue with your stock radiator and overheating.

Stock fan settings start at 221 or something close. That's not overheating. I do understand the desire to run cooler though in my gut it makes sense. However, there's always a however, my car always, and I mean always runs faster when I hot lap it. Every single time. That may be in part to the transmission heating up more, and the fluid viscosity thinning over previous runs. My suggestion, before spending undo money, change fan settings. I've had a bunch of combos of thermostats and fan settings and a digital temp gauge for as long as I can remember and that is my educated advice. Maybe your settings are already adjusted, well we don't know because you didn't tell us much.

With a 160 thermostat, and 190ish fan settings like yours, in 90+ degree LA weather with our god awful humidity mine would still run 210 on the hwy (fans disabled at that speed) and 220 in stop and go. I think in that climate that is the norm.
v6 radiator , better than lt1 radiator as you dont have to plug holes . cu1485 , i got mine for 108 shipped from amazon . ITs the same thickness as the lt1 but you have no extra ports to block off.
