Default Installed 2nd oil cooler in front of PS cooler !!

Did a track day a few weeks ago I have a Dewitts radiator w/ IOC but at track oil temps still got up to 242F @ a outside temp of just 34F . So I installed a additional Earls 19 row oil cooler after my Dewitts IOC .
Just spliced into the bottom line out of the IOC . Went to HD bought a piece of 1" x 1/8" aluminum stock cut about a 3" piece drilled holes attached to oil cooler , bent the stock about 45dg , drilled two 1/8" holes in
suspension cradle fits perfect right in front of PS cooler.
Oil will still warm up on cold days from IOC then cool off more with EOC .
Temps today normal driving around town and highway temps maxed at 192f .

Hwy temps 192 when ambient was what? EOC is downstream of the IOC, correct? Have your tracked it yet with the new cooler? Got pics so we can see how big of a cooler you used?
