Also, not being critical of anyone's efforts! You guys are out there driving and trying different approaches. I'm sitting back here with a half built motor stealing your ideas.

My apologies if I came across rude. You can obviously drive your car however you would like! There is no one right way of driving, either. I am merely saying that since our driving style and the environment (venue) is different, it would be very hard to compare numbers 1:1. In that sense, I am trying to compare people's results only with their own previous results.
Back to the topic, I think your location for the dual coolers is optimal (short of putting them outside the radiator ducting area). Since it is very close to the radiators, I don't think the crash beam would impede your flow, either. I still question the wisdom of dual cores since one large core also had the same results with less pressure drop, but I understand that it is debatable

X25, that's good to hear and what I expected
We received first-hand info on allowable max temperatures from the chief engineer of the Viper V10 (probably similar limits for the LS3): Coolant: Do not exceed 255 F (I back off at 240-245 F) Oil: Do not exceed 300 F (I want to keep mine below 285 F) So as long as you stay below those (hopefully with a comfortable margin) and you track with new, fresh synthetic oil of your favorite flavor, you should be relatively safe.

I've had similar results with M1 5/30. It takes heat very well, I'll post up my analysis when I get to my computer.

As good as the results are, I am still concerned about 5/30 oil over 290 degrees. It is so close to the 300 mark. We are depending on the accuracy of the gauge.

My pleasure. Mobil1 is actually a pretty decent oil. Now that my oil cooler setup is much more stout, I expect that the oil will last quite long.

There gauge seems to be pretty accurate by the way, at least in low temps that I tested. I'm also measuring the hot oil coming from sump (as we all probably do), not the cooled oil.

I think I'd have fabbed up some ducting, probably removable for street duty (and easy replacement in the event of a off), before cutting the bumper beam. That beam also contributes to the chassis' torsional stiffness. Norm

X25 - what is the p/n to the core you're using in your new set up? Link to where you got it?
