Also - WRT to the thermostatic switch, would love thoughts on having the temperature set at 180 vs 200 (which I think is unique to your kit). Since the stock car runs at about 200 degrees, my thought is to have the switch set to 200 as well. Any advantage to setting the switch cooler?

Drilling is not necessary when installing our kit. For cooler mounting we use existing holes on the radiator support and supply threaded clips and mounting hardware. The lines are routed around the radiator along with your power steering cooler lines.

Our engineers found that engine oil begins to flow efficiently around 180 degrees. Using our 185 degree thermostat ensures that the oil will not be cooled until this temperature was reached. This allows for normal warmup and extremely efficient cooling after that temperature is reached.
The 370Z has numerous cooling issues and limp mode is pretty easy to activate even while street driving. We were able to set off limp mode (280F) in our test vehicle rather quickly. With the Mishimoto oil cooler installed we were unable to do so and had fantastic cooling results.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks

This is correct!
