I have some goods and bad about both systems. I live in Phoenix and cooling is very important. Give me some pointers on which is better. They are both about $200.
Thx guys -Sham-

 

Three row radiators have smaller passages than two-row and can clog more easily.
Arguably 2-row can cool better than a 3-row due to the amount of airflow over these passages, however the 3-row should have more capacity.

Both CSF and Champion are good. Guess I'm no help to your question..

 

I live in SoCal.. I am running the Champion 3 row.. The 1st one i had leaked after 3 months due to the XJ over flexing.. Champion replaced it and told me they fixed the leak problem.. so far i have had it in for 6 months and no more leaks..

 

I've used 3- CSF 3 rows (different XJs) and have had excellent results and bought off amazon.

 

If money is no object, check out the Griffin 2 row or the 2 row V8 conversion rad at Novak conversions.

 

Champion is HORRIBLE I had a 3 row for a few months and then leaked on me sent it back and I have to pay 150 for then to fix and sent it back to me and as I opened the box it was damaged and outlet port was smashed. I called them and they refused to help me and swap me out. will never deal with that company again.

 

Use a stock one from AutoZone $100 unless your running a high HP stroker or power adder engine 9 times out of 10 that all that's needed if the rest of the system is up to par.

 

^ This is true. The plastic tank 2-row works well and has a good warranty.
