The Payoff    

Cool oil temperature, no problems

The setup is extremely effective at speed.   Above 65mph or so, oil temps are rock solid 195F regardless of ambient temp or engine load, exactly where the thermostat wants it.    Apparently the pressure differential between inlet/outlet becomes substantial around this speed and massive air begins to flow through the cooler.  

Without a fan to force airflow, the cooler is less effective when stopped or traveling at low speeds due to limited airflow.   It is still more effective than the old fender mounted cooler under all conditions.   But this car isn't intended to move slow.

The cooling system is ready for our planned motor.
