Oil cooler sizing

Hey guys I need some advice,

Im putting in a v mount setup and want to put in either one or two aftermarket oil coolers to get the stock one out of the way of the rad and innercooler. Now I know the stock one is the best because its huge and in the ideal location but what I want to know is how big will I have to go to get stock results from an aftermarket setup. My car is a TII 380 hp daily and weekend warrior with minimal track days. These are the type i've been considering just not sure on the size.

Thanks in advance

Here's a clear picture of the oil coolers dent sport (ma) installed on my car. I'm not sure what brand they are as dent sport ordered them. You can probably count the rows in the pic and find similar ones. I haven't ran the car yet, but of you have even seen pictures of their shop, I'd trust their judgement.

You could also move the FC oil cooler into the bumper support (off in photo for installation purposes only), cut a hole in the bumper cover, and duct it out the hood before the og radiator core support/new intercooler. I have a rectangular rw 9-row an10 oil cooler that might work if you do choose this route. Brand new, half price at $100 + shipping.

If the oil cooler you get does not have an internal thermastat, make sure to get an external one. I'm using ther Earl's 501ERL from Summit Racing.

i think you would want something around 8"wide x 10" tall x 1 1/2" thick if those are the measurements you are looking for.

have a look at http://www.bakerprecision.com/setrab.htm oil cooler #119 or #125 would be ideal
