Default Which Oil Cooler is best for its price?

I'm considering getting an oil cooler for the 350z. I have a supercharger and I'm planning to track it. I thought it might be a good idea to get an oil cooler. I see they make one by stillen thats like 420, there's a b line i saw for 375, godspeed, only 170 shipped, cx racing 120 shipped. Anyone got any experience with these? Or any other suggestions?

I ran the lines down between the intercooler and radiator. While I'm not a fan of how low the lines sit, they are not the lowest part of the car in fact the front bumper cover sits much lower so hopefully I have no issues with it.

If you have a crash bar you can easily mount it to the crash bar, very simple install. However, once your front end doesn't have anything stock left. It's kinda hard.

do yourself a favor, get an oil temp gauge before investing in an oil cooler
