it is all about less restriction ,as Greg said you are adding a ton of restriction to the system and you really need to reduce it any place you can, even the fittings you use are important do not use brass 90 deg fittings, i'm no plumber but if i remember correctly every 90deg bend reduces flow by 25% and use a good cooler like a Earls or Setrab ( setrab makes the earls ones)
i am just in the process of putting my cooler system together today.

but then you run the risk of keeping your oil temp under 200* which is something you don't want to do.

for the money i have in this cooler adapter ($16) i would really like to use it. it was off a '07 Z06. i just cut the rubber lines off of it and installed -8 hard line adapers.

i don't use brass fittings so we are good there.
