Default What Oil Cooler for a 1000HP blown motor?

I have a thermostatic control 3" x 20"L cooler now. My motor is all after market 540 whipple/w cooler and a 14QT oil pan. The oil will stay around 190- 230 up to about 4500rpms. Then it creeps up from there to wide open oil temp will go to 300+ in a short time... oil temp sensor in the pan. I have a hi flow remote oil filter. I’m looking for something to cool it down so I can wide open for awhile. What cooler acually works out there?
Engine temp 110 all the time.
Air Fuel 12-1250.
Max RPMs 6200-6400

Try running 2qts less oil in the pan see if it gets better. All most sounds like the crank is beating the oil. Whos oil pan are you running and what engine block do you have?

No oil By-pass valve. I run a thru transom water pickup 1-1/2" to the strainer and 1-1/4" to the two stage pump and out of the pump thru the oil cooler then to the block.
