If you track a lot, then maybe just the Stewart WP, but the radiator should do the job if it's not leaking. You know, mine came out around a year ago...original--at around 195K miles. I was so sad I put it to rest in the woods out back, under a pile of stones so the animals wouldn't get it.

There's an all aluminum one that works for some models...for something like $1000. My replacement was $150 (behr).

If your car's temp rises above 'normal' at all, I'd think other than the radiator; I'd think cooling system overhaul! Since you didn't report an issue other than 'not feeling it,' I'd say that it's fine...but don't feel it too much...the fins are sharp!

You could always get these:

I was thinking more along the lines of ZHP rads...
