Forget the spacer thingy for more pressure..The idea here is to up the volume IF it is needed.
Very seldom do you need to up pressure or volume though.
An oil cooler does not require more pressure, it does however require a thermostatic adapter for proper operation.
Too cold oil is as bad as too hot oil. There is an optimal temp for oil to run at.
Try and stay away from too many elbow`s and bends. They drop oil pressure by virtue of restriction in the system.
