Default Oil cooler inline with oil filter relocation kit question

Can an oil cooler be plumbed inline with an oil filter relocation kit?

go after the filter if possible, it "might" flow better but doesn't really matter. Just get a sammich plate.

well this new motor came with a relocation kit, so I would rather plumb in unlike with that than getting a samewhich plate. My only thought is getting oil up to temp since there will always be flow no matter what temp the oil is.

Build a blanket for the oil cooler to use around town and daily, and remove it when you go to the track.
