Also consider that I run a top mount setup that puts off a lot of hear.

Stocks rads really seem capable of handling what many/most owner can throw at them.
Maybe their luck wasn't so great but I know two owners that had their circuit 4 and 5 go back to using stock units because they had over heating issues with high priced full aluminium units.

Yes I did buy the evo 4-6 radiator from Ebay but it was too thick and my 6466 turbo was hitting it. That's why I was needing a thinner but full radiator. My half civic radiator is fine if I'm running normal. But as soon as I run WOT for a long period of time back -to -back racing on highway, then it would heat up almost to the top on my water temp gauge inside.

I have no experience with this radiator for racing applications. I had to make my own custom top brackets from aluminum using the inserts from the stock mount. On the bottom it fits the factory mounts, but I added ~0.200" spacers to slightly raise the radiator, which is not necessary. I can provide the part number for the hose I used if anyone is interested.
