Default Has anyone bought one of these Entropy aluminum radiators?

Has anyone bought one of these off ebay? They list for $379.00. I was just wondering if they were any good. They have ones for a4 and m6. Here's the link.

That looks EXACTLY like my Fluidyne. Not a bad deal either if it is a no named Fluidyne or whatever it is.

Stock radiator is pretty efficient, FYI.

I bought one of these radiators for my 96 383 LT4 T/A and it works great.
My temp never gets over 180 degrees and that is right now when it is over
100 degrees (I live in the south). During cooler times I have questioned that my temp gauge was working right because it would not get over 165 with this radiator...but I hooked the scan tool to it and the reading was correct.
This is a good radiator.. The stock fans will work with some modification..MM

hmm, i've run my car really hard before. On the way to FBody Beach week we all cruised together, raced my friend in his TA twice, another friend in a Formula, and my friends Camaro all within succesion other then the camaro and the temp didnt move at all. My car is running extremely hot if it reaches 200 degrees
