After retrofit-installation of the additional oem oil cooler, oil temps seem to stabilize at 230-240F under normal driving. Formally it would be at 245-250. I'm really curious to see just how well it would perform in the heat, so I will probably do one HPDE in the summer. My next event is in mid october, but ambients will definitely be at or below 50F. anyways, here are some pics:
Thanks for the posts and pics. I'm curious about your comment on manually shifting raising temps. Please explain.
