Right, the main knock on an air to water setup is that the oil can never really be cooler than the water temps once the car is warmed up. So you're looking at ~200ish degree oil as the low.

Yes, the warm up time is reduce and oil is always at operating temp. Aam comp includes a lower temp thermostat for that reason.

So how is that a solution for someone who isn't getting enough cooling from a 34 row air-to-oil cooler on long, hot track days? Ambient air is always going to cool the oil better than hot coolant, no?

Air to air is a better solution for an oil cooler. If a 34 row isn't enough, you can plumb in another core, or find a larger one.

Agreed, I guess the appeal of the AAM cooling setup is that for ppl with FMIC its not another additional cooler blocking the airflow up front.

The GTR version uses a A2A oil cooler and laminova core maybe this would be more effective for track cars in hot climates.

Was at a my local racetrack Winton raceway couple of weekends ago - the racetrack was sticking to my shoes

This also looks like a good solution cant find much info on it i believe it s 42 row
