Trying to get the 4th gen setup with an oil cooler. Probably going to go with the Mocal that IR sales. Also would like to get the fittings and adapter and hose through them as well. For those of you that have put together similar setups (without remote filter), what parts did it require to set this up. I'd like to just call in and order the parts and be done with it. I don't have the car right now, so I can't do measurements and mock ups. Thinking of putting the cooler in the nose behind the grill to catch air. We can fab a mount. Any suggestions on size of cooler, fittings etc. I was considering their low profile LS1 adapter, and the aeroquip startlite hose.

Thanks in advance!

I have used the "push lock" style hose before and it works ok. But for a similar price, I'd run "real" braided 10AN (and even better, I have a bunch of it for sale if you're interested...if not, I'm not offended). I just like having a real hose end that truly captures the end of the hose to the fitting. There's virtually no chance of blowing a braided 10AN stainless line off of a fitting if it was installed properly. That's why I like it (and it's really durable).
