According to your research report, you tested the 370z in ambient temps of 65degrees to 72degrees. Then you drove on a highway doing 50mph. If I drive like this in my Z without an oil cooler I won't break 190 for a temp. In temps over 90 I won't break 220. Honestly that testing wouldn't even prove the cooler works.
A good way to test the oil cooler without being on the track to doing like 10; 0-60 sprints. You will watch your gauge go up high to 250degrees plus.
19 rows may help for daily driving under normal conditions but, you wrote in your report that this cooler was to be design to work both on the street and the track. I do think mishimoto build quality is comparable to the other, more established brands, but on this oil cooler, you may want to test it in 90 degree testing under more duress. Also $600 is very pricey for a 19 row cooler. I didn't realize it was 19 rows. It looked large enough to be a 25 or 34 row. Sorry.
Maybe you guys may want to do more testing and consider a higher row cooler?

Again, the core size is not the deciding factor of cooling efficiency. I have not seen any other data supporting any other products available on the internet. If you have the ability to collect data and are interested in testing this in more extreme conditions we would be happy to sell this to you at a discounted price. Unfortunately we cannot control ambient air temperatures during our testing. I can tell you we have this on our supercharged 370Z and I personally drove it under rough conditions in 80 degree weather and the temps stayed static. Unfortunately that car is located in California, and our engineering facility is located in Delaware (so we were unable to get data).

A great deal of the cooling efficiency is airflow. We've strategically placed this for optimal airflow.

Please don't feel like I'm attacking. I have great respect for all companies taking the time to make parts for our cars and thank you.

The main reason I find question is NOT as much the core size as the testing info provided in the report. I mentioned the core size we need for track duty only because testing of this product in the report seemed vague.
You guys stated that you tested the Z @ 50mph on the highway and had no issues. I was just clarifying that my car will cruise fine @ 220 degrees in the summer. The problem is if I get stuck in traffic or I am hard on the peddle, I jump from 220 to 260 in a heartbeat. Which means if I tracked this car, my situation will be limp mode. Most of us need coolers for sport related duty, not just cruising.

The supercharged part intrigues me though. Knowing that FI draws extra heat into the bay gives some promise to the cooler.
Now you claimed you tested the car under rough conditions. What were they? That is something you should share with us.

PM me about further testing of your cooler. I would like to know what are your expectations for this cooler. Would you sell this as a track device or a general cooling device? I'm under the preliminary impression that you are standing by this product as a track optimum cooling device.
