Is my oil cooler overkill for the street?

Yes, the non-thermostatic Mocal Plate does not have a large, machined threaded hex cap on one end. Whereas a Thermostatic does. It is easy to spot. It is the only machined, shiny piece on the sandwich plate near the fittings.

If there is a leak, double check that they tightened the following:

25mm Sandwich Plate Bolt
adapter fittings on sandwich plate
Hose fittings attaching to adapter fittings

Might want to also make sure that the installed did not pinch the O-ring on the sandwich plate.
