Not running aluminum but did notice a temp difference swapping in an HD 300 six rad. It hardly gets to normal temp. This rad is fitted for the inlines but fits the bigger V8 core support.

I ran one in mine until I started tearing it apart recently. I got mine from Summit and it took a little bit of fabrication to get it to work but it did run cooler when going down the road. It was on there for a total of about 4 years with no problems. Here is the best pic I have when I did the tear down.
