I'm wrestling with what direction to go since my 25 row Mocal is not going to get it done. I spoke with Michael from improved racing and he thinks asking another 25 row Mocal will be more than enough to bring the temps in line. Two down sides are added cost and pressure drop. He estimates a 6 psi pressure drop through the two coolers run in series. I think I'm fine with that as I am more concerned with flow which should be good running the Melling 10296 ported pump.
Anyhow, get to the track and get us some true numbers! I've got to make a decision soon as I've almost got my motor back together. Thanks.

I've used 12-AN to reduce the pressure drop from lines. You're right on the money on the issue with two cores; pressure drop. I went with the largest of the Series 9 with 48 rows, which provides the lowest pressure drop; it should be less than 2 PSI.
Check out Setrab's list on cooling capacities vs. pressure drop, etc.

If this does not work (but I'm hoping it will), I might also switch to two cores. For my bother's 1LE, we'll do what I did with my supercharged Miata, and keep the OEM cooler. This way, OEM cooler will do 80% of required cooling, and the external oil cooler will have a much simpler job
