I want to get a radiator that will be good for an 89 GT that will be strong enough to deal with a turbo down the road. What radiator do you guys recommend for this FL heat.? Thanks for any help

Yep..Im for real. No...Im definatley not rich. Its a totally stock motor with some bolt ons. Im hoping for 800rwhp with the new turbo but im not sure if I can get away with that on the stock cams. Usually the stockers limit you to the 700's. What do you guys think of the summit radiator.?? I have been told that is a good one and its around $180.

Autozone 43-3138 3 core copper/brass radiator, about $150 + tax. Pep boys will have the same part, I don't know what their price is. Copper conducts heat better than aluminum, but is heavier than aluminum.
