I run 12:1 compression on my race car and I presently have a 3-row core in 
the stock radiator shell. It works just fine with an electric fan. This is 
all copper.

I bought an aluminum radiator a while back but haven't installed it, but 
it's either 3 or 4 row. Aluminum is def. better.

Bottom line - you want more rows. The stock setup has the rows lined up 
front to back, the newer cores have the rows offset so those cool better.
