Is the Griffin one LT1 only?

I see Be Cool also offers one. 60028 Natural or 61028 Polished.

What would be the best option, car is in Phoenix and gets warm in traffic. The fan settings are already optimized and the core fins are clean.

Any install problems using these or do they bolt right in?

As much as I dont like SLP...I have heard good things about their radiators. I really dont think that its a necessary upgrade though.

the Griffin is for LS1 F-body. i already ordered the 598ae-jxx Griffin radiator but it is 9 weeks or so back order. we have too much heat here in Kuwait and in Gluf area generaly. the temp gauge is always just a hair before the middle tic so maybe with the Griffin it could drop to quarter with activating the fans using LS1edit and 160 stat.

Yeah combine that with ls1edit, 160 t stat and you may want to consider a fan switch - you will be more then cool.
