[DeTomaso] Laminova oil cooler

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Maybe at baby speeds the Laminova works okay but Erik Belter bolted one on my Pantera after my Fluidyne heat exchanger failed in 2001 ...
   
  The Laminova  worked okay for street and track events but did not do the job for open road race/endurance racing at WOT....in fact the Fluidyne air to oil cooler did a better job then the Laminova....I ran the Laminova  for exactly 2 months before I bolted on a replacement Fluidyne heat exchanger.

All true -in Summer. In the winter, oil temps climb VERY slowly and 
over-cooling oil with heat exchangers is common. Most systems have a shut-off (manual 
or automatic) in the circuit for cold weather driving. FWIW- J DeRyke
