I have a custom Howe radiator with Taurus fan (4,000cfm) and cold air intake setup from my FD that is bullet proof for road course work in the heat and great for the street. The radiator is angled forward to allow a straight shot style intake tube over it and LS7 K&N carbon fiber air filter up front (gains of 15-30rwhp depending upon cubic inches/heads/cam). You do need to cut the original radiator support where the hood latch bolts up to to clear the intake tube. On my car I simply used AeroCatch latches and they hold to 170mph without issues. This was setup for a 90mm TB and includes the 4" tube, silicone intake hoses and aluminum hard lines/silicone hoses for the cooling system (Fbody water pump). It is about as turn key as it gets and cools fantastic. 1/3 the price of the Samberg setup.
Howe dual pass radiator 15x27" with custom aluminum welded on mounting brackets and fully boxed in and ducted up front to a '99 RZ style bumper.
Includes bolts/spacers/grommets.
* the radiator was professionally sealed with epoxy where the Taurus fan motor rubbed a small pinhole into one of the tubes. The 1st fabricator installed the fan waaay to close to the radiator and didn't expect it to move once it turned on. It pulls so much air that it moved towards the radiator and rubbed a small hole. I then took it to another fabricator who fixed it and did some other work on my car and then proceeded to put about 4K miles on this setup with no issues or coolant consumption. The fix is permanent and works.

*the lower portion of the fan shroud has been trimmed as it sits very close to the harmonic balancer (Fbody style)
80AMP relay ($$$)

it uses this filter... same one used in the Samberg kit

I made 522rwhp/472rwtq on a stock LS7 with cam/headers on a conservative Dynojet. The car went 111mph in the 1/8 and 138.3mph 1/4 mile best at 2900lbs not powershifting. This was also road raced on 3 different tracks in Northern California and never once had ANY cooling issues even in 100*F + heat. I paid well over $1500 for all this stuff to be made and it is track tested plus had to drop off/pick up my car from my fabricator who at the time was 2hrs away each way.
$500 shipped to Colorado/TX and states West of there. All states East of there add $25.
*the TB intake hose has worn thru (visible in the last picture) from the hood rubbing... clearance is very very close.
