How did it go?

I know I'm a little bit late to the party.

Do you have any numbers relating to this? I believe it is not adequate for serious track use but am wondering if I will be okay for some hot laps. Will I get 10 minutes of track time at a time out of it or am I going to be done after one lap?

I just bought an Z1 Oil Cooler kit with an setrab 25 row, ive had some track time and for extended periods the car will reach 260+ degrees at witch time I go for an cooldown lap.

I would like to see pictures of an "stacked" oil cooler install of 2012+ with oil to coolant and oil to water installed, and would like to know if there is any issue with clearance with the stock oil filter or an optional mobil1 m100.

You have two choices:
1. Delete the factory water/oil heat exchanger sandwich plate and just join the coolant lines together - but you must fit a thermostatic sandwich plate otherwise your oil takes ages to heat up.
2. Stack/piggyback the external oil cooler on top of the stock heat exchanger by fitting the external cooler system's sandwich plate literally in between the stock unit and the standard size oil filter. It's a tight squeeze from people's reports but it's not impossible. I believe Stillen kits require a specific model oil filter which they outline in the instructions.

I am dumping the factory cooler for the 2012 and going with a thermostatic mocal plate with a 34 row Setrab oil cooler. Just buy a kit with everything you need. I got mine for F.I. No since in keeping the factory unit, it just heats it up even more.
