Stock ones have plastic endtanks and are prone to leaks. Fluidyne makes all aluminum radiators and claim to have better "flow" than stock.

There are aftermarket radiators that cool MUCH better than stock. It is all in how they are engineered internally. I need an aftermarket one eventually because I have a swap and cooling is an issue. You can get really fancy with copper radiators and such but you will most likely not need something like that

Yeah plus copper costs are sky high right now.

There are radiators out there that are "OEM Style" but all aluminum, but I think most of those are pretty crappy quality.

I got a normal OEM style one from radiatorbarn.com or something like that, about 2 1/2 years ago and it's been just fine.
