Default Trans cooler recommendations

I want to remote mount a transcooler with an electric fan on it. What size and GVW do I need?

As big as you can fit. The tru-cool 40k is the biggest out there.

I want to remote mount with a fan so I thought I would sell it and get one with a fan already on it.

The whole deal is to get the cooler away from the supercharger heat exchanger. The trucool covers about half the heat exchanger and was trying to relocate it.

Have you tried to run it and see what happens??? I have seen numerous people stack the coolers infront of the H/E..

No I haven't. Don't even have the supercharger on the motor yet. I'm just trying to plan ahead a little. Joe at LEFTCOAST32 just said it would be better if I didn't have anything in front of it. I mounted up the heat exchanger today since I had the day off.
