What oil temperature is your boat running? I have been running around 220-230. With hard runs and just cruising. Some say this is too high and others say its fine. I am running 540s with 420 mega blowers.

Cruise temps are about 220, hard extended runs temps rise to 260 (measured before cooler) 468" 671's Superchillers 8 lbs boost. Seems to work real well. Currently have close to 300 trouble free hrs on this set up. Recently switched to Mobil 1 15-50. Just bought M-1 V-Twin for the next change.

Also, sometimes using a crossover system instead of regular recirculating pump can cause this 'hard to get to proper oil temp' on some applications.
