That's pretty ridiculous, take a look here if you like that setup.

I'm more surprised by the $740 radiator, mine was $80 shipped from Radiator Barn and works like a charm.

that's friggin' ridiculous. I just bought a new radiator for less than a hundred bucks. As for the "hand welded tanks", hand welding is generally not as good as robot/automated welding. For small bit work though it is MUCH more expensive. And I would guess that's where the cost comes from, paying the welders.
I gotta wonder how many they sell???

Ebay has something similar for $500,

Or, a dual fan setup, aluminum radiator,$209.

I don't like the dual fan setup because it doesn't have shrouds. I highly doubt it would be even as effective in cooling as the stock fan setup
