I don't have an aluminum radiator. The thermal efficiency of aluminum is less but the material is stronger, allowing the vanes to be shaped more efficiently for heat transfer which results in better cooling.

Andy, be careful running at temps lower than stock. You want your engine to get hot enough to boil off condensation and other water/stuff that's gotten into the oil.
