@drlane I am interested in the oil cooler. Shoot me the price I’ll send you a PM.

Based off the comments, I think I’m going oil cooler next plus coolant flush. I currently just run OEM coolant and have not explored the other coolant options. I have been running liquimoly oil as well but maybe I need to explore other options now. My gearing is very short (3.85)
I would switch to redline water wetter coolant mix with DW I know when I did that on my previous car it definitely ran cooler.

At thunderhill and BW though, I have no issues. I am planning to run a set of center racelouvers and see how much that helps.

EDIT: Also running the Epic oil diverter valve, 95% water/water wetter, 5% coolant, Motul 10w60, catless, still runs hot at Laguna.

I’m curious about this litchfield race cooler sounds pretty good, but the do88 is advertised at 69% larger core vs stock where the race is only 60% larger.
