How bigger oil cooler will i need to cool my oil down ok when its getting abused round a track?

I currently have a Mocal style 13 row one, but some people have suggeusted maybe getting a bigger one.

I am moving it so it will be near enough hanging out of my front bumper, does it matter if my oil cooler lines are approx 1.5m in length each?

Brief engine spec:

T34 turbo
C'LET GM oil pump
Rev limit is 7k ish (not mega high)
Solid Lifters

Cheers

Paul

What oil are you using? You certainly don't want to 'over cool' it.
Using a fully synth may mean you are better within the oils range and not need a large cooler.
