Thanks for the input guys. I will be the first to admit I don't know a whole lot about exactly how well this would work, but I was just trying to think of a way to try to help the maintain normal coolant temperatures when using the Mishimoto oil cooler since it blocks some airflow to the radiator. It is likely that coolant temperature increases with the Mishi oil cooler will be greater when running a stock tune as compared to a stage 1+ tune that has adjustments to the duty cycle. I don't expect coolant temperatures to rise dramatically with the Mishi oil cooler, and it would be even nicer to know that any changes in the rate at which the coolant temperature increases can be compensated for by adjusting duty cycle and temperature activation programming.
In other words, I am trying to ascertain: Do you think that the decrease in airflow to the radiator can be offset by reprogramming of the cooling fan settings?
My goal isn't so much to increase performance, as it is to maintain efficiency, which I am hoping we can accomplish.

-Coolant changed to full-water plus Water Wetter
-Radiator changed
-Oil Cooler added
At some point in time your cooling capability will meet your needs and you should stop upgrades because too much cooling leads to a separate set of issues. You should datalog some before/after driving and post your results in the future because we don't have much information in the community yet.
