Default Engine cooling options...a winter project

After a summer and fall full of track days with the TT I am starting to look at cooling options for next year. I run the TT hard on the track and the engine temps show it. I would like to come up with a solution allowing me to keep the engine temps down (also, I really don't want to go the meth route for this). Has anyone looked into oil coolers or adding extra radiators (since I have an FMIC I am thinking I could perhaps locate R32 radiators where the old ICs used to be.
Any thoughts?

meth wont cool the engine. You basically should add in a small oil cooler where the smic use to be and also run more water with less coolent while adding a higher psi coolent lid. This will increase the boiling point of the water to much higher and the water cools the engine far better than coolent.

ecs tuning also carries a cooler thermostat and theres another site that has a fan switch that kicks the fans on at a cooler temp. that would be a start.

+1 keeps my big V-twin cool on even the hottest days in traffic,whereas regular coolant over heats.

Yeah, I used to run water wetter on my ZX-12R, just remember that stuff will freeze in the winter...for those of use who live where it snows of course! I'll add that to my spring prep list for the TT. I'm thinking an oil cooler like Cincy mentioned as well.
