Best high efficiency radiator?

Bill Ringer · 05-04-2012, 07:22 PM

Years ago I had my one ton truck radiator reworked. A local shop installed a high efficiency core using the stock tanks. That solved all overheating issues when towing my race car. I want to do this again (a high efficiency core for an older radiator). I am not looking to replace what I am working on now with an all aluminum radiator. The shop which did the work on my truck is long gone. What is the best manufacturer for high efficiency radiator core?
Thanks!

US Radiator offers a few different core options in OEM configurations. Can't tell you if they're the "best" or not, but I went with one of their radiators for the Duster we're building. A bit pricey, but the quality looks to be there...

Here's a cool video on how they're built: http://www.usradiator.com/news/usradiator-factory-tour/

(and no...I don't work for them, just went through this same search about 6 months ago)

I've heard that Glen Ray Radiators has great high-flow, high efficiency radiators. I can't say their stuff is 'The best' either, but I've heard/read good stuff about them.
