I had the same issue. I was driving in the rain one day and it would NOT get any hotter than 140° no matter how much i ran the RPM's up. What sandwich plate are you using?
I called the sales guy at RPW Racing and he said that it doesnt completly block off the oil flow even when cold. I still got a replacement and it does take a while to get up to 180 but it will stay up there after it gets heated up. So i think i might have had a bad plate too. They wanted me to send mine in for testing but i got too busy and forgot to send it in

I believe the stillen cooler kit still requires some modification but i could be wrong. All i did was use a
$3 Deck Flashing plate to create the mount and then spray painted it black to match the cooler. I think the hardest part of the install was making sure all the fittings were tight enough and that was just due to me not having all the right tools.
