Dear Jack,


             I very much appreciate your motoring philosophy:  "The old “track-pushing-hard” syndrome left me a few years back. Always looking for a way to NOT look at the temp gauge on hot days in traffic."

                         Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

Out of curiosity, where would you add an oil cooler? And would it be an air-to-liquid - or - liquid-to-liquid cooler? Having moved the A/C condenser to the front, I was thinking of using the original condenser-space for an air-to-liquid cooler with a pusher fan. I get the feeling, however, that it’s a waste of time, which sounds good/great to me.

I also run Amsoil full synthetic and there is a temp for viscocity breakdown but I don't have the spec in front of me.

I guess I need some feedback. All input is appreciated.
