I do not plan on adding an oil cooler with my Edelbrock, initially, until I see high temps on normal driving (I do not track). I will be adding a PCV catch-can, though.

It seems like everyone screaming oil coolers are parroting or reps looking to sell them.
I block mine off in the winter. I have a hard time getting my engine up to temp as it is in cooler weather on the street.
