Default Oil Cooler and SMIC

well im looking to get a SMIC and or a oil cooler. i think im gonna do a oil cooler first just beucase my oil temps get pretty high on hot days. are these two add on's worth the cash? what should i expect to pay for a oil cooler setup and what are some good/bad comnpanies? also is a side mount really worth the 700-800 or should i just stick with the oil cooler and see how that goes. any info or comments are welcome. thanks for the help

I think FMIC would be better, but the oil cooler is a good idea but if its getting hot yo u may want to make sure that the engine is clean.

my oil gets to the same temp on real hot days also. I recently had my water pump replaced though. If you decide to get an oil cooler...fill us in on the process of installing it. I may be interested in that.
