i know we've been through this before, but ...
i'm now actively looking to assemble a front mounted oil-cooler. what has worked for you? brand? size? thermostat? line-size? right now, the engine is a warmed up 2056. the car will definately see some track-time during '05. also, keep in mind that i still plan on putting in a /6 one of these days, either 3.2 or 3.6. so, i would like to (at least) have the lines the proper size for that already. what kind of thermostat do you guys run? what brand cooler? what size oil-lines? what route? ( i would prefer to retain heat, if possible) don't want to do the under the rocker panel thing. so i think i'm kinda stuck routing through the cabin. any objections? how about higher volume oil-pumps? pickup points? return? i have a oil-filter location sandwich adapter. good or bad? whatch'ya'all think?

it's usually not, *but* the way our cars are designed, air under the car helps with the engine cooling! just ask the people that run a monster air-dam, they will all see a significant increase in engine temps. having said that, i also firmly believe that running the oil-cooler air under the car is counter-productive. you add more lift plus pre-heated air doesn't cool that well. i'll vent my oil cooler out the top, through the hood and refrain from running a monster air-dam. more downforce, better cooling, more heat in the cabin!
