Perhaps one that sits in the air stream as opposed to being behind the radiator and cooled via hot radiator fluid. 
Have to agree with you on this. It's only the vortech spec headers that don't clear the fittings on the "donut oil-cooler". MSDS was very responsive when the problem was brought to their attention. The number of owners that will use the blower is quite small compared to the huge number of non blowers. There are a lot of SVT owners that never knew (may still not know!) that their engine has this oil-cooler, so for MSDS to miss it is understandable. If I had already been in process of install when problem was discovered, I'd have been p.o.'d too, but the remedy is not that difficult or expensive, compared to the cost of the vortech system. Plus think of the extra peace of mind from havig an oil cooler that really works helping to keep your engine operating with the added stress of the blower
