Default Trying to Battle Heat

Hey guys, just needed some advice on how to keep engine/bay temps lower especially since summer is coming! I was thinking of the following mods.. which one do you think would be most effective?

Vented Hood (seibon, Vis)
More efficient radiator (koyo, stillen, power enterprise) w/low temp thermostat
Oil Cooler (nismo, stillen)

I wish i could purchase all three, but ill get there eventually.

I would definitly say that the Oil Cooler would be the most important.
Oil temps get very hot with F/I. I'm doing two out of the three you've listed (minus the vented hood).

But I think you'd be in pretty good shape by running an oil cooler and a lo temp thermostat.

Get the oil cooler, really IMO dont need any of it if you less than 420rwhp, but thats one thing i would add to my car is a oil cooler. I live in texas and it gets hot, last year i had no problem with the oil, just make sure to change it...

Do you plan on tracking it at all? If so you'll probably need all of the cooling that you can get. If you're just tooling around on the street you should be fine.

At only 360whp I managed to get the oil up to 274 degrees at the track. I installed an oil cooler, tranny cooler and powersteering cooler last week. I also have a Seibon vented hood.
