hi

i saw pics of two oil coolers, so it was on delta dragster :-) if you use good oil 10w 60 there no will be problems with temp and performace. about the intercooler, you can install a frontal mount as coupe´s users do. this is the best option, althought there are others interesting mods, like fit a delta oem unit (full aluminium without plastic tapets). this is not a direct fit so you must search for piping kits. you also can visit forge or ebay websites to look up for this big itc models

Change your oil type/brand. Had problems with rising oil temp under hard climbing and turbo operation and switched to Mobile 1 and it all disappeared. For 3 years I basically "forgot" that I had an oil temp gauge. Switched back to cheaper Castrol due to leakage in a seal. Now the oil temperature thing is back.

To switch to full alu delta intercooler is a good idea since you will gain more power, but I doubt your engine will get any cooler :)
