      actually the aluminum is a fair bit more efficient than the brass radiators. A 2 core brass sheds heat about the same as the weenie single core aluminum does. The crappy crimped side tanks are teh crap though. 86VickyLX has some rather hefty all-aluminum thing that I like the looks of. Looks like some sort of fancy high performance custom job with welded seams and all. I think my next radiator will be one of those. 2 or 3 aluminum cores should evict all the heat I would ever generate.
