Trans coolers are rated to a cars weight and intended use.The smaller ones are for passenger cars and the bigger ones are for trucks that haul stuff.I wouldn't go too big,because the trans has to reach a certain opperating temp. to work right.You might be wise to go alittle bigger because your high-stall converter throws more heat( I think ).It's not how big it is ,it's how you use it ...at least with cars(right ede?)
I just put a 2800 stall in mine and added a trans cooler too. It was rated at 18000 GVWR. This seems to do the job pretty good.

well to give ya an idea- i put on in my car, and its about 7x9.... and about 1/2 inch thick? maybe a little more.. anyways, it works great, kept my car from limping away after a bunch of stop lights at the local cruise scene up here...
to give ya an idea, we hit every light before the trans cooler- after the 4th or 5th light is started slippin a bit, slow shifts.
after the cooler, i could go prob 20 lights and it will shift the same... works great, best mod i have done thus far in my opinion... my tranny was hurting for days before i got that cooler and changed the fluid..
