I think my radiator has sprung a leak. with that said , who or what radiator should I go with? I want a good quality , performance , and not to break the bank. not willing to dump an egg white in it.

Your only option is to get an OEM...try to find one not made in China. Otherwise find an aluminum one but they are around 300

The Cobra rad will fit but for a few more $$ the Fluidyne is bigger for added capacity.

how is the fit? did it bolt right up or did you have to mess around for 2 hours. Because I realy want to go with the fluidyne. Im looking to just bolt it on and forget about any issues of fabing new brackets , or hardware.

Fit is tight but straight bolt-on. If your thinking of adding an SC down the road you'll have to go KB or saleen because the others won't fit. My car is an auto so it took a little longer messing with trans cooler lines and such which tou don't have. Here's a pic comparing my old stock Rad to my new Fluidyne.
