S550 Radiator ducting

Two quick questions.

(1) What is this radiator with a smaller surface area but more depth that keeps your car's CHT so ridiculously low on track in max heat? Does it drop right in, or did it require some fabrication?

(2) Do you run an oil cooler at all?
Sorry - I apparently ADHD'd this and completely forgot about it or missed it.

It's a nascar radiator I bought off of eBay and modified. I believe it came off a car of tomorrow (IIRC, 2011 cup car).

During the tests referenced above, I did run an equally large oil cooler (the oil cooler and the radiator use the same core with different end tanks). I ended up removing the oil cooler because it is so overkill and the oil temp just fluctuated up and down around the thermostat opening. I am testing a water to oil cooler now (not run it yet) to lose some weight.
