Default Radiator for LS1 Miata

What radiator can be used in the NA Miata when using a LS-1?
I see FlyingMaita .com has one,but they are pretty expensive.Is there any aftermarket aluminum radiator that will work?

You can use any aftermarket radiator but the inlet/outlet hoses end up requiring the creative use of multiple rad hoses to make it work. I had an old turbo Miata PWR radiato and decided to go with an aftermarket (for LS1) PRC radiator. You can see if PRC still makes them. Might be a bit cheaper than FM but I got mine used so I'm not sure. People have had issues with the PRC as some were built without the internal blockage to make them 2 pass.
