Cooling options for LS1 FD?

Who has an LS1 swapped FD and is still running a stock rad and e-fans?

I'm doing a swap with a bone stock LS1, so roughly 320whp. Was thinking of just using a Koyo rad with stock FD fans.

Would that be enough cooling capacity for the LS1?

there's a guy running a koyo rad with an LS7 and tracks it w/o problems.

You'll be fine.

I would even imagine the stock radiator would be plenty for a stockish LSx. Keep in mind, it takes much more to cool a TT rotary than an LSx engine.
