I'd go through DPG out of those two.

radiatorbarn.com also offers a 3 row for a good price, which is what I'm running

I wouldnt go with the champion. I just replaced my champion with a csf from DPG today. The champion I had started leaking from where the tanks attach to the core on both sides after 1 year of use. There have been alot of other guys have the exact same problem I did.

Almost twice as much as your looking to spend, but I've heard a lot of good things about FFD's aluminum radiators. It's probably what I'm gonna go with when it's time to swap.

What radiator did you end up using?

DirtRoadXJ Jun 7, 2013 05:56 PM

I ended up just getting a stock replacement bc mine straight up blew and I needed one right away. Was going to get the one from dpg.

i dont think a "upgraded" radiator is necessary, i beat the hell out of my stroker and its never once got close to hot with a stock radiator, i do have a 3 electric fan set up tho
