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 cover my oil cooler with a peice of 2mm corflute for daily driving. the oil sits around 100°C. Without the cover it only reached 75°C.
