Default Bigger Radiator on DX??

I will be running 16 psi tuned on a B16 in a DX hatch very soon. Got some header tape/ water wetter/ FAL fan for cooling but the stock radiator's looking a little small. Is it worth the money to get a fluidyne or should I spend it elsewhere???

you can make it work with a stock radiator if you do everything right. my friend makes about 275 with 100% stock cooling system with a 2-1 water to coolant ratio. he has a b18 and the same spinny muffler you got

yeah i know, I was talking about an integra radiator (aka engine "cooler"), they are full sized and take up the whole front end vs the 1/2 radiator in the civic......i'm using my stock radiator if that helps
