Performance Engine Oil Cooler
I'm replacing my engine oil cooler and am looking for an upgrade. Currently supercharged and installing turbos for twincharged setup. Are there an larger performance engine oil coolers that don't require serious modification? I've seen Breathless Racing's kit with ~12 quarts volume and anecdotally great cooling, but that requires loosing fog lights, etc. Any high volume performance coolers that aren't as invasive, or universals that require minor fabrication (brackets, etc.)?

Just a FYI, but the Z06 oiler cooler works so well with the LS7, that if your just street driving in the cold, you have to block the cooler so the engine can come up to temp.
So problem is not the oil cooler so much, its the limited room on the front of the car to add in all the cooler you will need from the start.
And just a FYI, add meth kit, since the half water in the mix, will help to keep the motor for heat pumping from the start.

with all of the plumbing you have going on fitting a big cooler somewhere that it can actually flow air is going to be hard. Which a simple adapter and some AN lines ANY cooler can be fitted to your car, but unless if has airflow (in and out) it won't do anything, and cramming it in front of your radiator or intercooler is just trading one type of heat for another.
