Adding another oil cooler?
Does anyone ever add another oil cooler to their base or touring model 7? I've just never heard of someone doing it and always thought that it seemed like a good idea. Is it just not worth the money or has anyone here done this?

IMO, upgrading oil coolers is only necessary for tracking the car. It may also help with long term reliability if the car is driven in very hot climates.
Here's an example of when you need to upgrade from the single base/touring/pep oil cooler:
My temps at Thunderhill today in 50F ambient:
water temp: peak of 210F at t-stat, peak of 94C on PFC
oil temp: a blazing 252 degrees as measured at the oil filter base......
