It won't hurt to have faster flowing oil since you're reducing the oil pressure by adding the cooler. But this is highly dependent on the type of cooler you're installing. If it's a small one and doesn't affect the pressure much then no need la. If you're gonna go bigass with the cooler then most likely a stronger oil pump would be useful

faster flow of oil is good, but moving bigger oil volume at a higher rate with upgrade oil pump will cause parasitic lose for the engine. You gain something, you lose something...
