I am not currently running an oil cooler and I have only had an overheating problem once on a day when it was about 90 degrees. I was driving it pretty hard though and it went into limp mode. When I went to install the oil cooler I have there wasn't enough clearance where the plate goes at the filter due to the intake pipe running in that area. I have put on about 3000 miles on since I've had the kit installed and only had the one occurance. I am currently looking into a filter relocation kit but I'm not sure if I want to go that route. I am also intalling a water/ meth kit and hoping that might help cool a bit as well.

To be honest I'm unsure. The system was installed when I was out of town but I will see more of it when I get back in town and my new body kit is in.
Hey could you PM me a price on some body kits you sell, like the VIS version of the AMS.

The oil cooler wasnt the problem when I put the sandwich plate on for the oil lines at the filter there wasn't enough room to get the filter on due to the intake pipe running in the same area its a matter of about a half inch
