Your thoughts?

Don't bother with the 2007X. I don't think more area is the solution here actually, given others have success with just one. It is a differential pressure across the cooler, issue. That is coming from a guy that has 2 HE series oil coolers plumbed in series, but the environment I occasionally run my airplane in, which some may say is rather extreme, it is a required. In summary, if you just want to write a check and probably see some improvement, buy the proper HE Series Aero Classic oil cooler and swap it out.
The much harder solution is probably solve other baffle issues, like this thread talks about. Check engine timing? Oil flow through Vernatherm? etc etc The Vans inlets are huge, so you can solve this. I cool 400 cubic inches, both cylinders and oil, with less than 20 square inches of inlet area. (two 3.5" holes)
