Unless you're having overheating issues - are you? - there's no reason to be changing anything, including the radiator.
A larger radiator does nothing if your previous radiator worked fine.
If your previous radiator worked fine, then upgrading to a larger radiator just causes the thermostat to possibly work harder and possibly fail prematurely.


Changing things is half the fun ted. I have changed things before , I have owned it 6 years now. I am also going to change other things in the future. If your a buff on keeping stock cars stock , than congrats, I am not a stock car buff at all. I bought it to play with and I shall. I have been revving up my motor to 3 or 4000 rpm at shut down for the last 6 years and 80,000 miles with no ill effects or wet starts etc, etc, etc. You were skirting a statement that revving your engine ad dumping the power is a bad thing at shut off. Do yu think it is a bad thing for the motor?. Is it?. I have been doing it for 6 years and 80,000 miles and my motor is as strong as the day I bought it new , so if that isa bad thing to do than why is my motor so strong and never , never experienced a bad start or any thing of the like. I'm not convinced we are the same page. you sound angry. Why be so angry man , life is too short. Crack a smile and let the sun shine through ok?.


-Ted
I don't know quite how to respond as it sounds like your chewing my ass and not giving me advice?. You sound almost angry?.
