Good aftermarket oil cooler?

I did a search and came up with nothing. I'm going to be road racing my car, and I'm thinking I'm probably going to need an oil cooler, but I can't find any. Can anyone give me any links or information about oil coolers? Also, how does the stock radiator hold up to 90+ degree days on the race track?

Road race as in not parking lot autox? Stock motor?

For oil coolers, the only way I have seen was the crap factory setup. Hopefully someone else will chime in. From what I remember about the LT1 oil filter location, it was kinda cramped for a sandwich adapter.

Just make sure your coolant has been changed in the proper interval. You might want to do the fan switch mod for extended lower speed driving (<30)

EDIT: just saw mods. If anything use a good synthetic.

Racing as on a race track, homestead and sebring. I use mobile 1 5w40 for the oil, and have the stock cooling system with 2 bottles of water wetter, but I'm not sure it will be up to par...
