An additional oil cooler with electric fan would surely help.

I have the OEM fendor cooler with the fan and run find the car runs too hot at the track. I just dropped mine off at my mechanic to have the Ruf front mount and lover valence installed. If nothing else... consider it money well spent on an insurance policy on a motor that is very suseptable (sp) to ALOT of heat.

You will see a big difference with the front cooler in the nose. We do this mod to almost every car that sees the track or is modified.

With a large center mounted oil cooler, you should see temps less than 210F at the peak of summer while on the track. Without, you'll see over 240F on an average day

I agree on the Ruf front mounted oil cooler for altimate cooling and it looks great!

If you are wanting to retain the stock look I know of a couple of shops that will install an additional stock oil cooler in left fender well. It takes a little work to set it in there just right but works well and appears stock. It is probably enough cooling for drivers ed.
