Default High Performance Aluminum Radiator for 2002 XKR

As the title says, I'm looking to install (hopefully) a larger high performance all aluminum radiator in my XKR over this coming winter. Has anyone here done this type of upgrade? How big of a radiator can be installed? Is there a downside to installing too large of a radiator? I have googled high performance radiators and found several places online who will make a custom all aluminum radiator for approximately the same cost as an OEM replacement radiator but I have no experience with these places and don't know if the are good or not. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

They cost around $1000 as they have the gearbox oil cooler built in, unless you do what I did and fit one from a Exo X and added another separate cooler for the gearbox.

The Evo rad only cost $250 on ebay but I did have to modify it slightly, I also lost the fan pack and fitted 2 larger Pacet items

Is this something you could put together and ship to me? I'd be looking for an all aluminum radiator with a core that is furnace brazed, not epoxied, and would feel much more comfortable buying this from someone I know and trust.
