I'm perplexed. I want to stick the oil cooler right behind the passenger side "big hole," but where do I put that brake duct afterward?

Pozmatron, get an Rx7 cooler and put it up in the bumper. No airflow needed (I saw temps of 160-170 in 80 degree ambient with *no* airflow to the cooler). Stick the ducts in the big holes, block off the small holes.

Would it be possible to over cool with the oil cooler there? Why not just put it above the IC with some ducting or a hole in the nose?

You're mounting your license plate between the bumper lights?

I like how two people posted pictures of your car sav, I guess we're all to your car at night.
Hustler, sounds like the RX-7 cooler is a good bet. My only worry is the not infrequent cooler track days in the PNW (probably not a problem for you in Texas). There was an Autocross earlier this year in Washington with an inch of snow. That's an extreme, but you get the point. With that RX-7 oil cooler, although it doesn't need airflow, you're unable to block airflow to help keep oil warm. If you do have a cooler track day (even you Sav, if you ever wanna visit ORP), you're kinda screwed.
Slight thread jack, which side of the oil filter sandwich plate should I be taking temperatures? I'm assuming the cooler, post oil cooler, side, but is the filter fed from the center stud, or is that the return from the filter?
