The Jagg seems to be the best unit, it has the less pressure drop. Both th HD unit and the Jagg are simple to install. Its as easy as removing the oil filter, screw on the adaptor reinstall oil filter, mont cooler and run the lines.
The hardest part of the install is cleaning up the oil that spilled out of the oil filter.

Thank you for the insight, I spoke with Jagg yesterday and one is on the way. Any idea about what the temp should be?

You dont want it to run below 180, and you should keep it below 250. Mine would get to 250 on hot days in traffic then drop to 220 on the freeway.
With the cooler it gets to about 230 in heavy traffic and 200 - 210 on the freeway. The cooler seems to drop temps about 20-30 degress. That is with the Jagg 10 row cooler and running synthetic oil.

Thanks for your help and advice. I think the Jag is the way to go for my situation. I did speak with their tech dept and they were incredibly helpful.
