this lowered my oil temp by 25 degrees.

i was actually surprized that it didn't increase the oil temp, because I figured there was less metal attached to the engine so there would be less of a heatsink effect. but I guess engines dont work like that. Because intake air temp is lower, I guess the engine just stays cooler... I'm very happy with it. Engine running like a champ for over 60k miles (car has 167k miles now, runs like a BEAST ~300hp no chip, hehehehe, chipped I'd have close to 400) with the same gaskets, maybe I'll check them out one day and get a new set....
