Default Lingenfelter oil cooler adaptor

Do any of you guys run a Linenfelter oil cooler for road race or HPDE's?

I just put one in my C5Z after getting to 315 degrees at the last HPDE.
I am a bit concerned with the oil temp sensor causing a restriction the temp sensor threads into the adaptor block on the outlet of the adaptor thefeed hole to the line is the correct size for a #10 line but the temp sensor is about 1/4 inch in diameter and goes thru the feed hole at 90 degees it looks like a restriction..... I just don't want to blow the thing up...The oil pressure on road test is ok it has just a bit delayed response to engine rpm, I can understand that due to the cooler and 4-5 ft of #10 line. I just would like to know someone else has run one with out issues.
Thanks

I don't run their cooler, but I have their adapter. A bit of a pain to install. I have had mine in my forged LS2 for over 3 years and 30+ trackdays with no issues. I have run an accusump for the past 2 years if that matters, but my oil pressure, even when oil gets above 250*, rarely gets below 30#. HTH.

I have one in mine and street temps are little lower and pressure seems fine. Hve not had a track day with it yet.
