The vast majority of times it was an "engine malfunction, reduced power" error but once or twice I saw a red thermometer on the screen with a warning of critical temperature reached.
Is this typical in your runs? (power loss/no limp mode)

Yes, I've never had an actual limp mode (red thermometer). All I've ever had is engine malfunction, reduced power, with like about 50% power left. Always at 270 Degrees. I've gotten as high as 290F, when I didn't have any oil cooler, but I've never seen the thermometer. The car performed best with the AR oil cooler, diluted coolant and additve, heater on from the beginning+<78 degrees F Ambient. You guys with STETT or ER, have yet to prove to me that those oil coolers can keep this car below 270 degrees in 80F+ weather. I mean REAL heat, and humidity, like I experienced today.
