The street oil cooler is what we would like to recommend for 99% of the owner's of the 370Z's. The race oil cooler will be a bit overkill for the majority of people and just won't be necessary. The street oil cooler has been proven to work very well and offer a big reduction in temperatures. Even on the track the street cooler is working very well. We just wanted to see the temperatures get a little bit lower while on the race track.

So is there a dis-advantage to running the race cooler on the street? I was just driving in traffic yesterday (it was hot, bout 98deg) and was not even close to driving aggressive, my oil temp was fluctuating from 240 - 250. Even on a cool day, my average oil temp is 220. If the race cooler has a 40 degree reduction, would still be at 180 right? Also, I plan on running a supercharger, I have a feeling this will kick up temperatures a bit. Is running the car with too low an oil temp bad, and what is considered too low for this car?
I notice that the car runs really good and feels way more responsive when first starting up in the morning, but as soon as it starts creeping into the 200 range it starts to feel sluggish.
