Thanks man, we still need to meet up, lol.
The lines were made at Taylor Made Hoses, I can get you the address when you need it. They can have your lines made in about 10/15 minutes from when you order them. They have tons of options though, I went with the cheapest solution. I think I kept my invoice in case they need part numbers. as for the fittings, I had to buy one at the same place and it costed a little bit more than racerpartswholesale, so i would buy them online. And don't worry about figuring in shipping costs, since orders over $100 ship free from RPW. I would suggest getting the mocal thermostatic plate also, because of its size/fit and oil filter compatability. If you don't mind running a different filter and dont need the thermo plate, then the permacool will work.

thanks! I drove last night and it took about twice as long to hit 180. I stayed around 190, 195. After pushing it harder, I hit about 215. I'll have a better idea today. Normally I'd be at 220/225 in this heat
BTW, I had to go with the STP S3985 filter since it was the only one available at the time. I could not find a K&N hp1005 or a Mobile1 M1-207/M1-105 locally off the shelf. Next oil change, I'll look into WIX and Purolator. Oil change took 6.1 qts to reach the halfway point. I'll double check the level today.
