This thread may be taking a detour, but who makes a good upgrade for the accessory radiator? Is the plumbing to and from adequate to support a larger core over there?

I will be getting some logs on my track day this week so ADE can recommend an upgraded oil cooler, which will be installed with a bypass plate in place of the stock oil thermostat housing, larger lines and externally adjustable thermostat. The stock thermostat and lines don't flow enough to support a significantly larger oil cooler, and the external adjustability will let me dial in street and track settings so that oil temps reach target on the street without overheating at the track.

I can't help but wonder if a larger coolant radiator may also suffer from limited flow reducing its effectiveness.
