I have the BeCool also, but unfortunately it is integrated with a transmission cooler, not oil cooler. :sad: If you do not track you definately do not need an oil cooler. My oil temps never go over 220'ish with spirited driving on my big bore. The BeCool definately gets the job done as far as cooling goes.

LG's cooler looks nice and I know DRM's radiator is top notch. Good luck!

:iagree: I am using the Ron Davis radiator with great success. If you have a be-cool next to the Ron Davis unit you will see the difference.

If you look at your bank account after you purchase the Ron Davis instead of the BeCool you will see the difference. ;) I couldn't resist that smart azz comment.

Like I said, the Ron Davis is nice. I saw it right next to my BeCool when Tom Garland(nevrenuf) and I put his engine in. If you feel you may need an oil cooler, the Ron Davis is the way to go based on my experience. If you want the absolute best cooling an external oil cooler is the way to go.
