Default Anyone plug their oil filter bypass?

I was researching and found quite a few performance and race engine builders plug the oil filter bypass so that only filtered oil goes through the engine. They say you have to make sure you change the filter regularly and warm the engine oil up before going over 2500 rpm. I was thinking about doing this but want to hear from the pro's here on the forum not the ones that say don't mod anything on a Vette.
Anyone have experience with this mod?
I am running a external oil cooler with a thermostat and remote oil large filter on my C5Z 440ci n/a ls2.

Thanks
Christian

They can't be plugged they have to circulate. You can buy a cover that goes on it that allows it just to go in one and out the other. Go to eBay and put ls oil cooler bypass plate and it should bring them up. Item Number: 131289731584
This is the number of one on eBay if that will help

Have mine plugged on a Gen 1 and yes let it warm good not just when the thermostat opens before you start playing.
