OIL Cooler Kit On a Naturally Aspirated Engine???

Does it make any sense to do this? I have already put in a tranny cooler to help lower the stress on my tranny (along with the Transgo Valve Body upgrade).
I have almost ALL the bolt-ons, including headers, plenum upgrades, intake, exhaust, etc, etc.

I am eventually thinking of getting a supercharger put in, after rebuilding the motor of course.
I drive in Texas, and push my car hard. Worried about excessive engine heat.

Would it be of any use to get one of the oil cooler sets? I've found the following for pretty cheap...

It would definitely help but the cooler you posted is way too small...especially for that price.

Okay, just found a great thread that explains the whole set up, and for under $300! I have to do this before the summer temperature start shooting up in Texas!

With my tranny cooler and this oil cooler, would I be blocking too much of the front area of my radiator?

If both are placed behind the lower grills, they won't cover the radiator.
