I don't know which brands are good and which aren't for alloy. Maybe because they are physically thicker they cool better? There are firms that make custom copper rads - maybe this would be the ultimate?
My AH fab rad has slightly less core area to my std ford item.
but in 28oC ambients my cossie see's 93oC on a hard track session with the AH fab's rad,
But with std item on a 10oC ambients, it see's 95oC on the track.
only thing changed is the rad.
I don't know either what Alloy Rad's are good or bad, but the only way of knowing is test them on 1 track car.
