soooo im starting to rethink my oil cooler needs. normal driving here in sugar land/houston area im at 210-220. then when i get "spirted" haha it reaches 240-250. then quickly goes back down to around the 220 mark. i dont plan on tracking the car anytime soon but this horrible heat doesnt look like its letting up soon either.

i understand 200-220 is a great temp to drive at hard, but im at that temp while i putt to wal-mart...:\

what do yall think?

200F mocal plate
25 row oil cooler
If you're only getting to 240-250 occasionally I wouldn't do anything at all other than use good quality oil. If you're doing it every day then you might want to consider a cooler, the 25 row would be ample and would hold you to 220 max on the same kind of driving. Overcooling is just as harmful as overheating, although if you go big you can always add a block off if necessary.
