Brian - Great idea.  I had looked at that when you mentioned it some
time back.  However; I decided I wanted the filter between the outlet
and the cooler; and a larger, full-flow filter (actually I'm using a
dual-filter remote mount from Earls, same one Racing Beat sells).
As I understand the way that stock setup is that one of the two outlet
ports is what has gone through the filter, and goes to the oil gallery,
and the other port feeds back to the passage to the oil pressure control
valve and to the pan.  So flow can bypass the filter back to the sump.
I don't really think that's an issue ; but . . .

What size line and fittings are you using?

I'm using An 10 if Iremember correctly. The plumbing is  a little strange, I've got to look at the
oil flow diagram in the manual again. I'm soing to have a "t'' fitting that flows to the relief
valve and also to the redrive.
