its the only one that can flow better then the rest Hey Alex.
When you say flow better than the rest how do you mean?
I have tested every cooler on the market on many different setups and none of the others on the market keep as cool as the GRS item.
I have tried:-
Full Pace front mount single pass.
Radtec
Pro Alloy
Auto specialists Air tec
H&R
Not any of the above coolers work as well as the GRS item. I just wondered how you came to that conclusion?
If anythig i thought that the ProAlloy type has restrictions due to the end caps and cores being 90 degree to each other ?

The twin pass will be restrictive over single pass coolers by nature of design.
Ok i make it a little clearer.
The core on a GRS and other types, go accross the front towards each end cap. As soon as the air exits the core it is smoothly turned towards the pipework.
The core on a Pro Alloy type, go up and down. Which means that as soon as the air exits the core it hits a wall as such, then has to do a 90 degree turn with no aid of curvature from the design.
Im not trying to downgrade any item as im not an intercooler manufactor or know indepth information regarding designs etc.. Maybe someone who does know 100% all the differences and reasnons will help more. Im just adding my opinion as when tested different intercoolers on cars that i have done conversions on etc. I get to see how different items work and what gives the best results.
Hth.

I would have thought that the restriction of the Proalloy end tanks would be negligable compared to the pressure drop caused by a twin pass cooler.

A small pressure drop maybe a small price to pay to keep the ACTs as low as the GRS coolers do 
No point having brilliant flow through a cooler which is giving you 70+deg ACTs with any reasonably high boost level
www.grsmotorsport.co.uk and graham@grsmotorsport.co.uk is all you need to know
