Mike definitely adds information to the answer: Not all multiple-core systems 
are created equal, so find a good radiator shop that can give you good advice 
on alternatives. Air flow matters a lot, so not consider not only a 
higher-quality fan (I use a "Texas Cooler" which is better than stock, but a good flex 
fan is even better), but also look carefully at the way air flows into and 
around your radiator. If there's any way for air to go around the radiator and 
create turbulence behind it, the air will do that. In the six-cylinder cars, the 
baffles are critical, and with my race car as an example, covering other 
openings around the radiator with duct tape can help a lot.
Cheers
Gary
