Message	hit's something like 50psi (not sure exactly) anyways, which means, it flows only when accelerating hard. so, unless you're racing, where the pressure is high for minutes at a time (not drag racing...), then it's probably overkill. then again, i have one, but everything on my car is overkill anyways... lol. : ...Stillen says their oil cooler drops oil temp by 40 degrees. NISMO probably does the same, I would guess. I talked to Jim Wolf yesterday about it. I said, "how about an aftermarket oil cooler?" He said, "don't need it unless : doing some serious lap racing or endurance driving". Is that pretty much the case? Or can anyone benefit from a larger oil cooler? I drive aggressively just on occasion, mostly city and highway driving.....Thanks all! Bernie The heart of the Phoenix... bhsiao@newssun.med.miami.edu
