Default Radiators

Does anyone have any idea who makes the best radiator and were to get it? I want one that wil keep my car down to were I have the fans set at and the stat set at. 160 degrees. I am looking for one that fits back into the factory spot with minimal modification, and it needs to be able to handle long rode races at high speeds. In the old days we would just upgrade from a two core to a four core. Is that basicaly what we do now for these cars or is it more complicated then that?

I'd be interested to know what you found, cause I had planned on replacing mine sometime in the future as well...

You can use a lt1 radiator and cap off the heater outlets. It holds twice the capacity of the ls1 radiator, and keeps my iron block rock steady at 178.

Really? I assume it just drops right in.
