GTM TT: Cooling Upgrade Wishlist

I have that 72 row in the picture. It is outstanding in hot weather and definitely has overhead for a forced induction setup. What I'm thinking is to look for

I have that 72 row in the picture. It is outstanding in hot weather and definitely has overhead for a forced induction setup. What I'm thinking is to look for a vented hood. When I was doing dynos for two hours straight and runs within two minutes of eachother, oil temps never ran over 185F. And it definitely didn't feel like i was going to combust from all the heat escaping the engine compartment and hitting me in the face. It was notably cooler.

What brand Produce 72 Rows and is this an oil cooler or tranny cooler?

My friends would love for me to take my Z out to the track, but it is NOT track ready especially when it gets this hot on 100F+ ambient temps. There was no intention of tracking this car with the current setup, but it's nice to have piece of mind with upgraded cooling components and ventilation for daily driving and track it when the time comes. So far after flushing and bleeding the system temps are stable in the normal range with 100F ambient temps.

Setrab produces the oil cooler. Either I find a vendor who has a kit, or we need to custom mount it.
