There's a couple running them. I think they can help, more so to heavily modified cars. If you are going to install one, I recommend relocating the oil filter, so it doesn't stick down to far and cause problems.

I'm running a Permacool oil cooler that I was lucky enough to get to test fit. I can't say that it helps performance, but the peace of mind if gives me is irreplacable. It doesn't lower the filter more than inch, so I wouldn't worry about relocating it. Just be careful with the lines, I rubbed a hole in the line because it was routed too close to the axle. I just zip tied it up farther that it was before. I take about a quart more oil too.
