Radiator upgrades, etc.
Due to the unintentional front end redesign I mentioned in another post, I also have the "opportunity" to upgrade other systems aside from the plastic parts. I'm going to install a better radiator, does anyone have information on what brand and where to get one?
Also, what else should I fix while the front end is off? Any comments on the ram air kits or brake ducting kits out there?
Thanks!

I have a Griffin radiator from Dewitts. I think their website is http://www.dewitts.com very high quality piece. Takes a little trimming of the shroud to fit it in. Costs about $500.

Hib posted a thread some time back that the Fluidyne Radiators were a good upgrade for the money. I have a Howe in mine, but Be-Cool is another supplier

Fluidyne is the way to go if you got the $$$
I went with the BeCool $600
It will fit the stock shrowd, all you need to do is trim the rubber mount a little.

I went with the integral oil cooler aluminum radiator from DRM. This is similar to the radiator DRM offers for the C5. There is a pic on their webpage. I got the (bigger)radiator, AN -10 swivel seal fittings and adapters, braided hose, and filter sandwich adapter for slighty under $800. I don't have any impressions yet as we are finishing up the 383 project, but I can tell you the quality and workman ship are top notch.
