dude, don't waste your money. the stock stuff works very well. unless you feel the need to "mod" it so you can say you've modded it.

I like the idea of an oil cooler. I upgraded mine to a Summit racing oil cooler with a 8 inch fan that thermally switches on when it hits temps. around 300F. It was only 80 bucks, but you have to fab brackets oil lines, etc.

Has anyone ever tried a slim fan under the hood vent to blow the hot air off? Just wondering, I was thinking of trying this at one point in time. I don't know what the space is limited under the hood vent.

Swaintech ported/coated exhaust mani/o2/turbine housing. If you're really ****, pick up some reflective gold tape. Gold is the best reflector of heat known to man, and many race teams use it to keep temps down during road races.
