Mark, Perhaps using 2-inch SCAT, instead of 1.5-inch, would have less restriction to get more air flow to the cooler. Looks like you are dumping the oil cooler out flow into the engine compartment high on the fire wall. This is a relatively high air pressure location; the local air pressure at the oil cooler outlet needs to be low to get max air flow through the cooler. You could make an outlet duct for the oil cooler and route the outlet flow directly to the air outlet point at the bottom of the fire wall for max suction.

I'll see y'all at the Gathering... Mark Langford
