so i already have a lot of the normal upgrades, HD CSF 3 core radiator, 180* t-stat, hi flow water pump, electric cooling fan (2950 cfm), stock aux fan on a manual switch, even hood vents for when im at idle or moving very slow. the twist to my problem is i have a 4.6 stroker at about 9.75:1. so when its warm out it likes to run warm. doing about 70 mph down the freeway my temps were running up to 220 and i would have to turn my heat on to bring the temps down and thats just no fun when its like 90* outside. also it would want to over heat when i was wheeling which sucks. now i know the motor was designed to run at 190-220 but i like it to run cooler than that.
i would like it to run steady around 180 in the warm temps. ive been reading up on the forums an stuff on oil coolers. i was looking at the perma cool oil filter kit (this one) would an oil cooler make a big enough difference. a lot of the people that i read that used them said it did for them but that was on different motors. anyone have any opinions or insight?
