My ideas are running a second oil cooler or making some sort of air funnel for the radiator / oil cooler.

Has anyone attempted an air funnel or had bad experience with 2 oil coolers?

Thanks!

Start with racing oil sae5-50 shaffers oil can do the trick...

Hood venting...

SPAL fan on the oil cooler with 200 degree thermo switch

Bit of a thread "revival" but hood vents will help more than you think. As long as you go with functional ones such as the Trackspec kit. ~10 degrees on my car with 34 row cooler. Although I do have a splitter which will help the generation of a higher pressure zone in front of the cooler; the vents reduce the pressure behind the cooler.

OP did you reach any decision yet?
