I currently have 3 row brass/copper radiators in both camaros, and up to the current 105+ degrees in Phx they have performed well.

With the a/c on at 105 the car wants to run 220 degrees, and I'm wondering how much of an improvement I could expect from an aluminum radiator?? I have dual elec fans on both cars. Suggestions? Thx.

Dan,

When I had a 3 row brass/copper radiator with my BB the temps averaged 205-210 in stop-n-go traffic and 190-195 on the highway. I switched to a 2-row aluminum Griffin and they dropped to 190 and 170 respectively. It was well worth the $200.
