I may have pre-maturely reacted. Yesterday when I posted, it was after just a quick test drive down the road a bit. I drove it the usual distance on the freeway with the a/c cranked and freeway speed. The temp would actually ride the white line before the red area. Heres the before and after the 3 core.Take a look:

Although, today it only got to around 106 outside. So we'll see what it does on a 115 degree day. So far better than I thought. Maybe I didn't burp it correctly? Aah who knows.
Heres the difference between the 2 core and 3 core:

The stock fan shroud still fits even with the fatter thicker 3 core. The fan clutch seems to be more sensitive too. I hear it come on faster and stay engaged longer. This radiator though not stock, bolted right in with no mods what so ever.
