i would think just upgrading you oil cooler would be best...

No it will not slow the air down if you have a puller type fan.

A puller type fan pulls air into the oil cooler while the fan is mounted behind the oil cooler so it will not restrict any air flow.

I do not want a larger cooler because I think the stocker does a great job. However, when autocrossing you are in a low gear high rpm situation where not much air is going through the cooler. If you have a fan on in a sitaution like that or when you are stuck in traffic, I think it would benefit as well or even greater.

Thank you for the link to the B&M site. Looks interesting.
