I can't remember the temperatures they were running, but I will see if I can find the article.

If you or anyone else could point me to that article (or other articles ) on the effect of different drive showers on gear lube temperature that would be much appreciated.

Good info. Thanks. After the hard run you noted the drive oil temp hit 230F without a drive shower. Now that you have installed a drive shower what is the drive oil temperature with a similar hard run?
