NFT? Is that a brand? And offer full flow fittings? Or you have them drilled? Curious.

The ones that I've found that are nice are the Aeromotive ones, but they have a limited selection. They only come in black, too.

Most of the top name-brand manufacturers have full flow hose ends, it's usually just the adapters that are necked down.

Steve C. - Yeah, that's pretty close to the numbers I've been told in the past, what's in that article, but was told that the temp valve are slow to react, so you should have a more 'realistic' target value. If you have a demand 'sprint' of say 10 min, the oil temp may not spike until your done, as saturation sets in. So the valve may never full open, but the oil has already been exposed to the temp. At the other end, it may not close within a reasonable time too, and that could allow the oil temp to drop below that 212 setting. When oil temp swing from say 200 to 240, so does the oil psi. Think about that in a 'rollercoaster' type scenario, not optimum.


Anyway, when I did my setup back when, I didn't use a valve, and let it do what it wanted. But I ran a much smaller cooler too. I think the one I had made about a 20-30 degree diff. When it was installed, I ran a temp gauge in a temporary situation, had it velcroed to the carpet. Once I was satisfied of the temp range, I removed the gauge.
