Which radiator for a street/strip car?

Hey guys, which radiator do you guys suggest for a street/strip car? Right now I am having a problem overheating with my new motor. I have the fan shroud with a 1300 cfm Perma Cool fan inside of it. I am just running a stock radiator right now and a Proform Electric water pump. Motor is a 12:1 377, it is fine when I am moving but as soon as I stop it starts getting hot.

Also, do you guys run thermostats when you run an electric water pump? I was told that some electric water pumps have problems opening a thermostat.

Thanks!
