I have a 96 GT and i need a different radiator. I was thinking about getting the Steeda ultra cool its 399.99. Is there anything better or the same for the same price or cheaper?

Yea i came to the 5.0 forum because answer tech questions here.
I dont know much about the 96+ cars, but i know many guys here recommend Fluidyne religiously...so thats what ill recommend cuz i know it works :nice:

The Steeda is a good radiator.

Just like anything else, you get what you pay for.

The difference in price between radiators is in the cost of the core itself, as all the other pieces, tanks, fittings, etc are pretty much fixed.

ie;, a piece of aluminum to build a tank or to machine a fitting costs the same for Fluidyne, Griffin, C&R or whoever.

The core is the most vital piece in the equation, as it is where the heat transfer and efficiency either happens or doesn't!

An all furnace-brazed core (no epoxy fillers) costs more, but is worth the cost in the long run for performance and reliability.
