I dont like to see over 200F at the oil cooler when on the highway on a hot day, but it may be hotter at the releif valve and the 1776's do run hotter. Problem with the oil coolers is that they make for even more restriction to the flow of oil and more work for the oil pump, which may be fine for a new engine but when it gets old and worn, could be a problem. How is your hot idle and freeway oil pressure? Since the 1776 runs marginally hot... this may be a good compromise so long as the oil pressure remains OK.
