car is only used drift/track "then sits in shed" or dyno not a road car"

is it still recommended to get a thermostat on the oil cooler or just the cooler kit?

what the opions/ pros and cons?

only reason to get one is on a daily where u have stop and start and u dont have time to warm it up.

if its a track car you can just leave it idling until its up to temp for thrashing

then again i have a 30 row cooler with no thermo on the daily although i dont give it much over 3k until water temps are up

thats what i thought - i just wanted to confirm really..

now i can go shopping

Yep as above track = no thermostat . road = thermostat.

Dan_J be careful cause in my experiance water comes up to temp a whole lot faster than oil.
