See above regarding oil pressure vs. temp with and without an oil cooler...

There's definitely a need to run a higher viscosity oil, you're right. Interesting that Gspeed recognized this, posted the data showing that the oil cooler had a pressure drop, and didn't provide further testing with a higher weight oil. In the same thread, Element Tuning even says that you should do whatever is necessary to reduce oil pressure loss.
Why doesn't Gspeed state what oil cooler they were using? Where it was mounted? What orientation the cooler is in? All of that data is critical and I'm not seeing it.
