Default cooling mods

What would be the best cooling mods as far as main radiator, secondary radiator,inter-cooler pump, possibly bricks, expansion inter-cooler tank, oil coolers?
Not wanting to spend over 20,000 on the LG, replace the grill, set up. Track once in a while. Callaway upgrade done, (SC757) Engine is rebuilt with cam/lifters, Diamond rods/pistons/springs/valves, etc. Headers.

What is your goal? 1/2 mile events? Occasional highway pull? Track duty? Auto cross? What’s your driving experience. The LG kit was <$5k for me 2 years ago. Not sure of current prices but I’m sure it’s not $20k.

this is a closeup of my Customized LG kit
