I'm running a CSF 3 Row radiator, 70%Water 30% Anti Freeze and a bottle of Water Wetter. Works great.

Thanks for the info...............I think the frontal surface dimensions of the core (sq. in./cid) are the key factor.

24.33 X 15.63 = 380 sq. in. surface area
19.21 X 18.7 = 359 sq. in. surface area

vs

27 X 11 = 297 sq. in. surface area radiator in the XJ
