I remember reading that some of the oil still has to run through the cooler with the plate installed but I'm just wondering if it's time I build a block off plate?

Yes I have it installed. It can be hard to hit 180. Even mine was 175 today at 89 degrees with my block off plate covering about 4 inches. But that's the beauty of it. That was not in traffic. That's a different story. Check out my block plate design in my sig below. Rep if you like.
