Radiator sizing question

Stock Radiator is: 1 row (core size) 16-3/4" x 26" x 1"

Now add a catback and a supercharger to stock motor.
New rad needed since slight relocation is needed.

Would an Aluminum Griffin radiator of the following size be enough?
dual row (core size) 16" x 19" x 2.25"


From what ive read, apparently switching to an Aluminum rad is the first improvement over a OEM stock radiator and im hoping the greater core thickness may make up a little for the more narrow width.

-vehicle is manual trans so no trans cooler involved.

my ideal size would be a core size of 14" x 20" X 2.25" but i haven't found any universal sizes in that size just yet and i don't want to have to go custom made just yet.

stock single core= 335" sq. and the new Griffin dual core = 304" sq.

I would say that the dual core Griffin will certainly add more cooling capacity as long as you fit it so it's receiving plenty of airflow.
