I would recommend an oil cooler much bigger than the standard 13 row setrab series 6. I would go with a setrab 15 row series 9.
Yeah, stock(ish) boost levels. No more than 8 psi basically. I don't need more than 275-300whp (which is likely do-able at 8psi with supporting mods).

I would probably grab AVO's oil cooler kit, and I figured a rad wasn't needed, perhaps a lower t-stat as a bit of piece of mind at most.

Thanks all.
