    I was running a a 2 row from Oreilys with a electric fan. It was runing hot all the time. So then I bought a three row from Champion. I'm just running my stock steel fan with no electric fan. I'm running 160-170 and thats even with me beating on it! So I'm pretty happy with it. And I don't even have a shroud.

    Do you guys know what the part number is for the Champion rad that fits our cars? I've seen some on Ebay that look slightly different from each other (most don't even list a part number) and want to be sure if I go that route it's going to be the right rad. Also, are these available through auto part stores or just online?

    does it optimize the cooling better?
    cuz i know people say you need to get the best eletric fan with a more sealed shroud
    is this true?
