I’m more than happy with my BeCool radiator.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

One thing i found about aftermarket radiators is they are not all the same. If you actually count the "rows" (cooling tubes) you will find the aftermarket doesn't have as many as will a stock radiator. As for the "rows" that run front to back you have to do your homework also. Some say 3 row but the "rows" are smaller than what you will find in a stock radiator. Do your homework before buying. You may want to try Northern Radiator they make radiators for just about everything. You can custom order what you need also.

I have factory radiators in all my cars but one. I have a custom made aluminum radiator with 1" cores in one car with dual Derale electric fans and it runs cooler than all of my other cars on the street and makes more than twice the power of the other more stock style cars that I own.

I hate to break it to you, but Champion Radiator are also Chinese. They have their own dedicated factories though, so that probably explains why their quality is better than most.
