What do you need to know about them?
C&R is a slightly better radiator, but more expensive. Their included (for free) slim fans pull more cfm than the Fluidyne ones.
C&R is, I believe, a true dual core (I think that's the term), while Fluidyne isn't. Basically, the only thing good about Fluidyne is the name (lots of people heard of it and use it) and it is metal.

They were very good. Their single fan pulled mover cfm than both stock fans together (1000cfm as opposed to 850something cfm). No need for more than one of theirs. Besides, they're kinda big, so more than one wouldn't fit anyway.

Don't get me wrong, Fluidyne is a very reputable manufacturer. I'm just saying that C&R is better.
Look at the pro's on the track, most are using C&R or some custom setup.
But in any case, Fluidyne, C&R, blah blah, it doesn't matter. They will both be excellent for your boosted application. It's not really going to make much of a difference. How much are you going to be boosting anyway? How much power?
If it's hovering around 800+hp, then you should start to worry about which brand, but if not, then a run of the mill Fluidyne is fine.
