Default EOC, Stand Alone or in Rad?

Hey guys, I did a HPDE this Saturday. The car ran great but I noticed I could really use an oil cooler. Temps werent too crazy, highest was 260*, but mostly averaged about 255*. Oil pressure stayed great, 35psi hot (255*) idle. So now Im starting to save up for a cooler but I cant decide what would be the best and most effective option. Ive looked at cooler kits, most are around $600 but Im not sure if I will have enough room with my long tubes, something I have to look at. The other option is a radiator with a built in EOC. Not sure which one works best on the track. Any opinions here and for either side what kind of temp drops have you experienced?

I know most of you guys use one of these methods to cool your engine oil. No opinions?

Id look into a radiator with a EOC built in. We use them on our circle track cars with no problem. Plus it shouldnt take up anymore room than it does now.

Thinking a stand alone eoc will be best for me. I already have a big radiator I just installed two months ago and an Evans water pump. Dont wanna buy a rad twice. The eoc is quite cheaper too.
