Most people are running Setrab oil coolers and multiple company make kits for them.. I was going to go with Z1 however Fast Intentions set up my 25 row Setrab and may possibly be having a kit coming out in the near future.

Law of the Internet, add a "LOL" or "JK" to imply sarcasm or to show you're not a prick, lol

If you track like a SOB 34 will be better, just make sure you get a thermostatic plate of you intend on driving it on the street!

And the 72 row AE performance has amazing cooling power and it looks bitchin, but it ain't cheap

Now, Sh0velman's holy crap, it's the size of the radiator, so probably THE best for cooling, but lets not ask how much it cost, lol

I have an AE performance 72 row oil cooler. Waaaaay overkill. But I'm pretty sure I can track this thing in 110F heat and it wouldn't overheat.

I have the NISMO 34 row cooler and it works great in the Georgia environment. I do use a block off plate in the couple months of winter though. Blocks about 3/4 of the cooler, and I run around 200 once it warms up.

I am extremely happy with the Z1 race cooler, and its a good value for the money, however, when my car was dual use, I used a home built 25 row and it worked fine also ( until a hose separated and made me spin into a tire wall, but thats a whole nother story), but temps did get in the 260-270 range occassionally.
