So I rebuilt my 3.0 into a much higher hp 3.2, I think its pushing 280hp. Problem now is just spirited street driving it runs at 210f with it be 80f outside; I'm sure on the track it will run 230+. I am running an engine cooler and the factory GT style Setrab oil cooler. If I want to run more track how large of an oil cooler do I need? What have you guys done in the past?
Also I am only running a GT lower valance, not a GT bumper, the hole seems large enough, could the GT bumper make that big a difference? Attached thumbnail(s)

You need more air in , no fans to obstruct flow , sealed ducting , and ample unrestricted exit for warm air.....people ask this all the time , with the money and fabrication to get to this point it nuts to stop at the most critical system for long term track survival....if that doesn't give you the temps you need , then a bigger cooler....same install...15 grand and up for a good motor ...spend the 2 grand to cool the oil ...sheese !
