Gents- my $.02 cents for what it's worth.
As topless mentioned I had an external oil cooler added to the rear trunk of my car ( capacity and efficiency of the cooler was conveyed to me to be 4x the efficacy of the stock S cooler) I had motec data analysis before and after the addition of the cooler. Additionally I had some oil pan baffle mods done by Dwain at Vision Motorsports and have before and after data. My oil temps before the cooler in the warmer weather were topping 250 degrees and engine temps were topping 210. Usually toward the mid to end of a 20 minute session. Additionally I was having oil pressure issues in a few corners at WSIR and AA speedway. With the addition of the cooler, oil pan mods I was running 25-30 degrees cooler in back to back events in September at WSIR and ambient temps were pretty similar. Additionally oil pressures improved quite a bit. My engine temps never topped 195 degrees where previously they had topped 210. I have all the data to support these changes and conclusions. I've had the oil tested twice also since these changes and it came back clean. This also included a day on the AA speedway roval. As Topless mentioned data from CVR where it was pretty warm again was really good.
I like Tom have been through a motor in the last year so we'll see how this one holds up with these mods. Initial signs look good.
