I don't have numbers right now, but i do notice performance drop after driving the car for sometime.

I don't think you'll ever run into 'overcooling' problems with a O2W cooler. From what I've seen and having spoke with a couple of guys using them, oil temps will still get hotter than 240-250 during a 20 minute session on track. Still better than with no oil cooler at all.

With an A2O unit, even with a thermostatic switch, people have a hard time getting up to operating temps under normal use. It will keep the temps floating around or under 240 on a NA car during 20 minute session on track though.
