In all seriousness, I'm thinking of getting an oil cooler for street use (albeit the li'l one). I think for you, I'd get the big-o one.

Once global warming really gets crankin', you'll need the bigger one anyway. Go bigh.
LOL - I swear I give it absolute hell and it still stays pegged on 220! After reading about everyone having trouble with this I did a double take behind the grill to make sure the owner before me didn't add one (got my 40th with about 5K miles on it b/c the guy's wife got prego and had to trade it in for a Maxima... talk about bittersweet!).

Anyways - I'm going to take your and everyone else's advice and get the big dog. Makes the most sense down here in TX and especially when tracking. If it gets a little chilly I'll block it off. Now I say bring on the global warming - I'll have the 34 row to keep me cool
