Default Best radiator option for Vortech?

Looking to upgrade my stock radiator and picked up a mishimoto rad. Does anyone know if a mishimoto radiator with the mishimoto fan shroud and slim fans will fit? Ive seen plenty of people talk about mounting the fans directly to the rad but i want to add the shroud to it, which adds an inch? Any other options out there besides mishimoto that will work better with the vortech w after cooler? Im currently on stock boost 7psi and dont notice any cooling issues on street or track but looking to possibly up the boost in the future and would like to have the cooling covered first.

The Koyo is also a good option:

And you'll want to look into an oil cooler:

The S2000 is well designed for everyday use, but the cooling system isn't up for hard track use. As you've increased the power, that's even more heat it has to deal with.

Already have an oil cooler going on the car. Found that out monitoring my oil temps on the track. 260F after 5 laps.

Is there a thinner rad alternative thats just as good? How thick is the koyo?

Did you ever got an answer for that? I just bought both, but I don't want to open the fan if it doesn't fit. Please let me know thank you
