I'd suggest a thicker unit whick allows for a smaller foot print (covers less radiator area). Can't go too thick due to clearance issues. When doing research, compare gvw/btu numbers between brands and sizes.

Nope, I didn't say thicker was better.....what I ment was, for example, a 5"X10"X1.5" cooler will have more cooling capicity than a 5"X10"X.75" cooler (all else being equal) but they both only cover 5"X10" of radiator surface area.

Any auxiliary cooler will be an improvement over stock. Obviously, one can go from mild (get the job done) to wild (overkill).
