I think NASCAR vehicles use a rule of thumb of 4 square inches per 25 hp being produced by the engine. This is for a fully ducted cooling system assuming no air leakage around the radiator and no AC use.

Looks like you are pretty close and as the weather warms you'll chase higher temps so oversize it a little now. Also consider a seperate winter set-up to maintain your gains.
