Depending on the options, from about $400-700 without installation.

There are cheaper ones out there but they are too small IMO. I would go with at least a 19 row but would recommend a 25 row if you plan on tracking your Z. The big thing is to get an oil cooler with a thermostatic plate. With out one you'll over cool your oil during the colder months in our area. I would go with Z1 Motorsports or Stillen. Z1 has more options but Stillen has the cheapest kit and Stillen's kits all come with thermostatic plates. Also not all oil coolers are equal. For instance Stillen's 25 row Setrab cooler is 14.1" wide, Z1's is 13". and Stillen's Gold Series is 11.25". For 19 row coolers Stillen Setrab is 11.25", Z1's is 13" and Stillen Gold Series is 11.25". So keep cooler width in mind.

Cooler width might play apart in the difference between me and Mike's experiences. I'm running Stillen's Setrab Race kit which is a 14.1" wide 25 row not a 34 row like I said the other night (it was installed 3 years ago so I had forgotten the exact specs ). I think Mike is running the Z1 13" wide 25 row. You would think 1" wouldn't make a difference.....

With Stillen's Setrab Race kit (25 row) I have had no cooling issues on the track and roads like the Tail of the Dragon. The only issue I have with it is, even with the thermostatic plate, I get a little over cooling in the winter months. When temps are in the 30s or 40s my oil temp has a hard time getting over 160 under "normal" driving. That's why I like the Stillen kit because it mounts on the passenger side of the front grill. Most other kits including Z1 mount on the driver's side. With it on the passenger's side when it gets cold I put my front license plate on. My front plate is on a tow hook mount and when installed it limits the flow of air on the passenger side of the grill solving my issue.
