OK, so I did a search on the forum for replacement radiator options and I am now more confused so I figured I would start a new thread. So I need to replace my stock radiator and I am having the dreaded cooling issues. So the question remains should I just replace it with a stock style replacement or upgrade it to a performance style radiator. My future with the car is that I promised I would never sell it due to the sentimental values of the car. That being said my overall goal was to upgrade it cosmetically, do some minor bolt on performance upgrades, and enjoy the car as a cruiser on the weekends. I know I will never get out of it what I put into it (dollar wise) so I am trying to make smart upgrade choices and while I love the supercoupe, it isnt my "Dream Car" (I am a Mopar guy) and once I pick up a mopar in the next few years after the detached garage is built I will have to focus all my pennies in restoring a muscle car.
I have read that the Griffen radiators offer 50% more cooling. I know the cooler the car the better it performs therefore is it really worth the extra coin after listening to my future plans in the upgrade. Money is tight as usual (just got back from a family disney trip) and I am contemplating doing the work myself which includes a timing cover gasket, water pump and timing chain (described in my other thread).
Below are screenshots of some options. Which do you recommend and do I need to purchase the intercooler bracket or should just re-use my stock one.
