Question Radiator Upgrade?

I've been doing some research as to what option exist for a radiator upgrade since I've installed my 402 LS2. The only aftermarket radiators I've found thus far is the SLP and BeCool. I'm curious as to pros / cons for either of these radiators and if there are any other units on the market?

I got the SLP right after I got the SS. It look just like the stock one but a little thicker. I didn't have any problems with putting it in. It takes about 4-5 minutes right now for any heat to come out of the vents. I live in Germany and right now the temps are between 25-30.

From all I've seen, the SLP "high capacity" radiator
is actually a LT1 radiator, except LT1 radiators in
very good condition can be had for like $50 or less
(I paid less) on eBay. You will need a couple of tube
caps (from AutoZone) for the heater hose nipples,
other than that a straight swap.
