Oil temps

If you're only hitting 220, you don't really need one. Save your cash and put it towards an exhaust or intake.

I asked the guy and he took me back to the difference from 180 oil temps to 220. At 180 the car takes off, at 220 it sucks air for a couple seconds and then goes but nothing like 180. He told me they can keep the temps under 200 easy year round. maybe he is selling me a bill of goods but I really notice the difference in oil temps and performance.

CMike, already did the CAI. Fall and winter it really runs nice.

Get the oil cooler especially for when temps go up in Texas. Gets to 120F there doesn't it? Wait for a warm day, >80F, drive the car hard for 10 minutes and you'll probably find out you want it. Be careful if you haven't upgraded your brake pads and fluid. I'd expect them to fail in less than as 15 minutes if your really pushing it. Full Throttle / Full Brakes type driving.
