I think a proper oil cooler set up with a thermostat is still going to be your best bet here.

That's why I love the Z community!!! Thanks for your response. I have continued to do research on this topic, which is how I got back to this thread.

I still have alot to learn as I did not know this and had'nt considered it as a factor. Changes my thinking radically!! I will have to rethink my approach.
