I have been told that if I reroute my oil system by tapping into the front oil galley and eliminating the 2 - 90 deg. turns the oil makes going to the front housing I could achieve a 10 + deg drop in oil temp. due to higher oil flow and less friction. Are you currently running nicely swept fittings like this: http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/aer-fbm3156_w.jpg or hard 90's like this? http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/aer-fbm2037_w.jpg It's entirely possible to see a decent change by going from hard 90's to swept fittings. No drilling, tapping or otherwise rerouting anything. Pat
