Lets talk radiators/shrouds

Last summer my gtx was running a little warmer than i was comfortable with on hot days and traffic. Had a no clutch 18" (poly?) fan no shroud. I got an 18" metal clutch fan and was going to put a shroud on it. Looking at summit they have 2 bb fan shrouds, one with a 16" fan opening and one with an 18" fan opening. the 18" is over $100. Columbiana chrysler jeep dodge motor sports has one on ebag for $94. shipped but i can't get them to answer my email asking the fan hole size.

So i'm thinking screw it if i have to spend $125 on a shroud maybe i'll just replace my stock 26" radiator with an aluminum one. Summit has universal 2 row $130. Allstar 2 row $175. Champion ec375 2 row good for 400hp @ $170 is out of stock according to their website. (car is estimated 450-475hp) American Eagle 2 row $178. shipped. The summit and allstar are crossflow, Champ and AE have top/bottom tanks.

So here's the questions (finally huh) What would you do, what brand do you use, how has it worked. I don't have the cash to spend any more than the prices of what i have listed. Thanks for the opinions/input. :???:
