Default Radiator in bumper support....size?

Cutting core support out and plan on mounting radiator far forward in bumper support. What size radiators are some of you guys running? My car(98 camaro) is turning pretty much into an all out drag car but will see some street time driving to and from track which is a short distance. Wondering what are some of the smallest cores I could run and still stay cool.

Yeah, I run those aerocatch hood latches on mine. You can see the red rods on each side of the car.

Also, this was the radiator I used. I measured the space I needed to fill, and this one fit the bill nicely.
