if it's OEM single core, it will run hot. aftermarket (mishimoto) will work. just remember the bigger the radiator the more surface area you have to dissipate heat and the more coolent you have in the system.

It will work fine. Ran one for a good two years before it ran out of life. Upgraded to a new stock unit and it still worked fine. Ran a LS with it and a B20B (not that there is really a difference)
