looking for another oil cooler

it looks like some of you think that the increase in oil temp affects hp and some say it doesnt. what i experienced on teh track is that when my temps hit about 260, there is definitely less power - not sure if that's from the engine making less power b/c of the heat or b/c "limp mode" is beginning to kick in. but for sure the car feels like it's bogging at anythign above 6000rpm - it just wont rev up or hesitates real bad as it's reving up. if i continue pushing it, then it will "bog" much harder and at lower rpms.

whatever the reason is, i just want cooler oil so i can avoid this problem. i'm just looking to hear from someone who's actually used a setrab (or any other cooler) and had good results, *even* in hot weather. the problem of "too cold" on the street, i'm not worried about - i can just block off the cooler or something.
