I'm happily going down the 'slippery slope' - this stuff is fun!
Thanks, Gary

Good questions.
I have a track membership
~30 miles from my house and this is my drive to track car.
I've also lowered it about 1".
I wanted to make sure I didn't have issues driving to/from the track
With pan clearance.
I run the 20w/50 here based on the Texas weather and anecdotal data that my 924s Chumpcar holds better pressure on track even after 24 hours of thrashing.
Maybe coincidence but moving to Amsoil and the 20w/50 or sometimes 60.
We also added a 2nd oil cooler.
We haven't had engine issues on track, since.
Many factors come into play but we lost two engines prior to this.
Not exactly scientific, but
Call it superstitious, I just like to stick with what has appeared to
have worked in the past. My guess it's a combo of all three and has a lot to do with keeping absolute oil temps lower.
As far as gauges, I had to add senders to engine,
There are some plugs at the top of the heads.
Probably other places to tap from, but they were the easiest (but not that easy)
With the engine in the car.
I'll try to snag pictures next time I get a chance.
