So you think too much oil still and it's foaming? I think I'm down to 9 quarts now use to run 12. It read in between add and full on the dip stick

Maybe. Not sure.

What oil pan and where are you reading pressure and temperature?

Also, what oil, and what's your pick up clearance from the pan bottom?

Did nothing else change except for the addition of the cooler?

Not 100% sure who makes it but it's big. Original owner thought it was 12q. I couldn't get the temp above 180 after 20 minutes of 4500 rpms at Elsinore. Never got warm enough to burn off the moisture I had a lot of froth in the valve covers. The oil would be about 60-70psi idle and once I'd hammer it to 5k it would be at 40psi. And it would drop after like 5 seconds

You are running a sandwich adapter between the stock oil filter mount and filter? Trans Dapt?

Do the passages in the adapter look restrictive? If TD, they are.

What size hose and fittings? -10?

What gauge and what sender?? I had an automated gauge in my buggy and a cheapo sender. Same deal cruising be 80psi step on it it'd drop all the way to 20 if I got on it hard. Switched to automated gauge works perfect now. Just an idea. Doesn't hurt to try.

I have a mechanical gauge on the motor and electronic gauge on the dash both were similar but the mechanical reacted a little quicker

Put the engine back in after changing the pan the other day, glassed the fuel tank back in, and finished up all my electrical. Just a few odds and ends left to do.
