I only did the side ones. And yes there were three hoses on each side but I don't care about the vent hoses so I only said four.

Have you noticed a considerable increase in cooling? I am pondering on going to all aluminum radiators considering I am high horsepower. My car runs down a little over 180 on average.

mine only has a tune, I don't track it, and I live in the PNW - not a hot climate, despite what the locals think; so I can't answer the question.

Probably not. I only DD my car so I can't tell. People who track them will probably can

You will see the difference if you track or live in hot/humid climate. It's designed to keep temps in the optimal 180-195 range when the stock ones would push higher.

People often buy the radiators for the durability, not just the performance aspect of the radiators.

We have a lot of sets on cup cars and dedicated race cars who typically race in 100 degree+ weather at the hotter California tracks during the summer. They tell me they can push their cars harder and cool down faster after they've installed the radiators.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer.
