keep in mind that all of us that use these gearbox oil cooler setups use them on our racing cars, not our daily drivers. we are generating heat far above what you generate on a daily driver, even a high torque monster. you'd have to drive it like a race car; ie. full throttle for sustained periods of time. also keep in mind that scanwest lost a car in a fireball because one of the lines broke and sprayed hot oil on the red hot exhasut manifold.

i'm not saying that you shouldn't do it. if you have a track car or dedicated race car please do it! but for a daily driver this kind of thing isn't exactly the latest and greatest 'bling bling' bolt on mod that you one-up the jones' with.

justin, accusump makes some fine electric oil pumps. remember to look at pump ratings wrt cold viscosity flow capabilities. certain synthetic racing oils (like redline shock-proof) are incredibly thick when cold and some setups i've seen don't activate the pump until the oil is at operating temps.
