Anyone have any experience with this Eastwood Radiator?

I don't like them. Just adds flow restriction. If you google Stewart components and read through their tech stuff they explain it better than I can.
 
In tests we've done, tri-flow does not work well with Top/bottom tank radiators. When the fluid goes down the 1st 3rd of the radiator, it has to get PUSHED up the middle 3rd. At that point, turbulence is created. Essentially cavitation. air pockets cause steam. Steam is very bad for a cooling system.

With crossflow radiators, we've seen better results but we see much better results in increasing the volume of the radiator vs tri-flow. So Cold Case has committed to making larger thickness radiators instead of tri-flow in most situations.
