I know the larger the tubes, the better they seem to cool. Your 4th row is probably pretty much useless by the time the air travels through the first 3 and picking up all that heat from them. Years ago I swapped out the original radiator in my 95 Dakota (2 core brass) for a large single core aluminum and that thing has never ran as cool. Even if I get stuck in traffic with the wind behind me it never heats up even with the AC on. I would imagine the weather here in the Houston area is about the same as yours. Hot and humid My plan once I get my car going again is to use the largest tube 2 core I can find. Been awhile since checking but I think you can get larger than 1 1/4" tubes. I'm pretty sure the one in my Dak is 1 1/4". Not sure who makes the best but have never heard anything bad about the Champion brand.

I just bought one of these also. Not up and running yet, but it looks pretty good.

How many cores does it have and what size are they?

It has 2 and they are 1" each.

I have had great service from Be Cool, the fit is great, quality is very good and performance has always been top notch for me. They are a bit more $$ than some of the others but have never let me down in the 6 vehicles I have used them in.

4 core? Are you meaning 4 rows?

How many cores does it have and what size are they?

Cores? Is this in a Chevy Charger that uses blinker fluid?

I have one of the ECP 26" 2 row of 1" tubes only because the space constraints I really wanted the 1-1/2" tubes that would have been bad *** ultimate cooling. Becool used to be the **** and is for high end but for most of us on a budget it seems 1500-3000 for a radiator is a bit much. and the argument of superior cooling is mute due to the configuration or row sizes and the fact you can run Evans waterless coolant with a radiator that fits and not have any issues.

My ECP set up. custom shroud dual 12" fans.

Little CFM flow video of the set up basically 3500 cfm standing still fans just pulling through radiator. Engine was warmed up to 150-160° then shut off and the fans are on a temp sensor that is set to 150° for this test. so as the coolant temps rose up to kick on the fans it only took a few seconds for the temps to drop enough to disengage the fans. during normal operation the temp sensor setting is set to 180° and as soon as it hits that on hot summer days which doesn't take long the fans come on and run. they are run through a derale fan relay system from the auto parts store.

Where do you put your temp sensor?

I've tried the water pump housing, but it doesn't seem like it shows any temp until I turn on the water pump.

I really don't know that there's a "best" but plenty of good ones, the question is who makes the best bang for your buck.... non Chinese I might add. I bought a BeCool from a scratch and dent sale that rocked like a cradle when laid on the floor, sat 2 corners up on blocks, twisted it back... 7,000 miles on it with no issues. They are a bit pricey but seam to be a tough radiator.

I placed in the fins between the tubes up high at the top tank takes a little work to make a round enough path but works well, tested it with a temp gun and two different types of temp gauges and the readings matched so I know it works. I wish the switch on the relay was more accurate but it is only a 1-10 type rotary switch and you have to just play with it to get the fans to be at the set point you want them to come on.
