That size ought to do it easily.  Now that I have enough air flowing through it, my 11 x 11 x 2 cooler is doing a nice job at 300 HP.    If I were going racing with more HP, I wouldn't add more cooler, I'd add a spray bar like the other Reno guys do.  Gobs more cooling, no more drag.

Any suggestions on how big an oil cooler I need for my 20B Turbo. Should be just North of 400HP. I am planning on a 35x13x2.5= 1137.5 " radiator for water cooling. It has its own dedicated plenum and discharge. Much like Tracy's . I hope the oil cooler can be smaller as I only have room for 32x12 x 2.5.
