Trying to keep the oil at the proper temp has been a challange. On a cold day on the highway, it was tough to get it above 140* or so. But I need the cooler on the track. So I tapped directly into the pan and installed a seperate electric pump. When the oil's hot I flip the switch and it cools off. On the street I leave, and it gets to normal operating temp regardless of air temp.

that's a very interesting alternative to running a thermostat for the cooler. For me, it would be much easier plumbing to run a line up one frame rail through the pump, cooler then back to the oil filter adapter plate on the other side of the motor.
What kind of pump did you use?
