Default Wimpy Rad

Have you guys seen how thin the OEM rad really is?
It'* only 5/8" thick!! Only a single row.
Imagine how much more heat it could dissapate if were twice as thick.
Does anyone make an aftermarket unit? Maybe it could be easily recored with a double or triple row core.
It'* beyond me why they didn't incorporate an intercooler rad. There would be enough space if designed as OEM.
