I can't fit an oil cooler up front with the intercooler, so I tucked it up inside the frame. Lousy air flow, but wanted something. I go to Sebring in early Oct so I'll know more then.

Stick with it. I lost my left leg in a motorcycle accident and all my vehicles have a clutch just because I refuse to be limited. Plus, it makes for a better story.
