I have the Stillen "race" oil cooler FYI.

I just want to know if shelling out $90 for the Mocal thermo plate will be a waste of $, if the temps wont change much or enough for it to be justified?
Yeah...The race cooler is too big....I'm sure the thermostat would help. I brought up these same concerns when Stillen announced the "Big" cooler with no upgrade on the plate...This is why they advertise it for Race applications. The cooler needs to be sized correctly....Even more important without thermostatic control....as you've found..
