I would advise against any size that requires to remove the crash bar.
You can fit a large IC right behind the bar whch I had done. You just have to move a few item (not big deal). I have AC and nothing removed.
I forgot the size in mine but if you REALLY need it, I'll size it later.

My temp averages 90c and 95c during hard runs or high speed freeway driving.

It's not a fancy set up. The key is using foam around the radiator to block airflow and using stock plastics in front radiator or aftermarket radiator panel and undertray. It's amazing how some people throw these things away. They're key to help cooling.
