I am very concerned about restrictions, and that was the reason I went ahead with the Canton. Frankly, either would probably work and there are probably minimal differences - other than the Canton thermostat is 215deg and the Derale is 180deg. For my purposes, I would prefer the 215deg. I don't want to be cooling it when the oil is 185deg.
Yes opinions do abound on this stuff! Derale does look to be straight in/out so I'm gonna try it. Looking forward to your next oil 'heat cycle' (track day) report....
