Front Oil cooler size for bigger six Options

[Justinp71]

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?

Andy now you are being silly , air flow over and above a car is the primary interest in the science of fluid dynamics as it relates to race cars....directing warm air below a car is a common practice from F1 on down . to increase velocity to help both down force and reduce drag....a damn sight more than a vague claim that insignificant addition to the total airflow over your car made it go from not handling well at a 100 ....( that already shows a less than optimal setup ) to being an entirely different can at 135 . realize that the air stalls in front on your oil cooler to about 25 miles an hour at those speeds , it helps visualize just how small the volume of additional air is to the overall flow at 135. The under car volume is much less and even then its hard to quantify an improvement...thats why it basically doesnt matter with you car , sans other aero improvements....I know you blow all the above off , people have an emotional need to be right...but others that are using this site to improve there cars might have at least pause for thought .
