Actually no, there isn't if you need a bigger radiator. Mine is a 22x19. It was the biggest radiator that would fit the factory opening. The fins in the radiator are exactly the size of the opening and sides of the radiator overhang the indention.

Just something about taking a saw to a car that makes you cringe.

Yeah, I see that in summit's cataloge and I laugh. 99% of us are going to be close or past that so whats the point? You have to buy their complete kit just to get to 400hp I think. My griffin is supposedly good up to 600hp and I'll never see that unless I have an itch to blow my motor with a 300 shot
