Oil cooling/performance?
alright, I wanted to put on a new oil pan and probably upgrade from a stock oil pump to a higher volume, But I wanted to know is their really any advantage to a remote oil filter relocation kit? and is it a big benifit to add one of those oil cooling small sized radiators? O or also adding a radiator filter/ inline cooling radiator?

Re: Oil cooling/performance?
Why? All it is going to do is pump more oil upstairs and risk running the pan dry, like under hard braking where the oil moves forward away from the pickup.
Makes it easier to change oil filter
Yes but only if you are seeing higher than normal oil temps from running the engine under load at high revs like track racers
