Default Trans cooler help?????

Hey guys looking at getting a trans cooler to hopefully save my trans a little longer. what size should i get i guess is the proper question. im looking at B&M coolers on ws6store. they have 13,000btu thru 29,200btu. i dont want to really buy one twice, so should i go bigger now rather than later. i do plan on making this car into a streetable drag car. that is my new goal. so it will get h/c/i and built trans and probably a rear later on. also stall and gears obviously later on too. Sorry for the long explanation, just wanted to see what you auto guys think. Thanks in advance for the reply's. O yeh i am talking bout the car in sig. sorry bout that lol..

Bigger is always better plus you wont be kicking yourself in the head later down the road if you go to a bigger trans
