OK, you got me a bit confused. I always thought that a rise in pressure
could come with adding a resistance (i.e. the cooler with WORSE flow). If
the Jagg has better flow, it won't raise the pressure, and it sure as heck
won't DROP it... Unless there are some proportioning valves involved. Other
than that, adding a cooler INLINE with the pump shouldn't cause a pressure
drop.
Or am I terribly mistaken? ;-)

I'm probably the one that's mistaken. I do know low oil pressure is bad.
The HD manual says the pressure should be between 32 and 38, though.

Depends on where you check the pressure d&r

Yup. I'm talkin' "right outta the pump".
