Lot of guys run both a cooler in series with the radiator cooler. The important thing is to make sure that one doesn't block the other. Its foolish, but pretty common to see an oil/tranny cooler bolted up in front of the rad, or directly behind it, instead of out in its own cool air stream. Stacking just means you're heating whichever cooler/rad is behind the other, and making both units far less efficient.
