interesting. I don't like running the pickup oil through the cooler, even without the air being and issue, just in case you lose a bearing. I do like the thought of running the oil through the filter first, how much air removal can you expect out of a filter?

Do you mean thru the Spintric first? It's not a filter, it's a way to spin the oil/airstream to separate out the oil from the air before it hits the tank. ARE claims it makes a big difference and some of the guys on the Corvette forum says it lowered their oil temps quite a bit. I don't know if any of the NASCAR guys are using them or not.
