I have one, it does nothing for cooling because it is not a cooler. (yes, debatable, if you consider it does stablize your oil for a very short time), then it's heat soaked.

Still my NA has never had oil temps over 120°c, and generally sits at around 95-100° c, 110-115°c when I'm leaning on it usually.

I concider these temps good.

The thing has no effect at all on my coolant temps.

Its function is to bring UP your oil temps from cold, which it does well, the quicker your oil temps come up the quicker you can thrash it without eating your engine.
