Re: best deal for rad's (father)
What about OEM. Unless you are road racing you really don't need one of those radiators. I have an integra and we use a full size rad. stock. I now use a used dual core half-size radiator from a del sol VTEC. I've been in 96+ degree weather in heavy traffic with zero problems. OEM will be just fine for your DD and occasional Drag racing needs

Good question. I don't think there are too many tests, but I guess if your fan starts to come on a lot or your car overheats when boosting it could be time. I know there are people with 450+HP on little radiators like me. It's not really HP, but how you use your car. Like I said DD and drag racing it's not a big deal, but if you plan on serious autocrossing or road racing then you may want to looking into that along with an oil cooler

Re: (adseguy)
It also depends on where you live......It gets mid 90's in South LA almost every day. Couple that with some traffic and a big front mount blocking the radiator and you may run into some cooling issues, I'd always rather be safe than sorry. I personally run a c&r and it works well, but they are hard to come by right now.

weather and traffic really shouldn't be a problem unless you have A/C on as well
