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 those here on the forum that have experience with this mod.
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

This has been talked about in depth on BITOG forums and the consensus is you shouldn't plug the bypass and if you are concerned with filtering in general you should run a remote filter that filters the bypass oil.
