I will receive my oil cooler kit soon. Here are a few remarks about:

• I did go with Setrab's Series 1 (Shortest for lower pressure drop) 72-row (most # of rows for least pressure drop) oil cooler core.
• This core, coupled with huge 12-AN fittings, should provide the least drop in oil pressure possible. Actually, I might see an increase in oil pressures since it will allow the oil stay much cooler during track duty!
• I went with the 212 degrees F thermostat for the cooler kit. This means the oil cooler will almost not run at all at the street, and will only engage at the track. 215 degrees is about what I see the oil temps settling at during street use with the OEM cooler.
• The pressure drop rating of this core is only 0.8/1.0 PSI, and is rated to support 600+ HP!
