Oil Temp What's to hot?
I have my water temp at 140 and oil at 230 and gets to 250 when running faster. Is this too hot should I get bigger oil cooler? I am running no water pump just and raw water pump getting 5-7 pounds water pressure. Other suggestions. I am running 540's with no super chargers. Thanks

we rarely see more then 220 during a race conditions spinning 7400prm. I look for 200-220 as acceptable under load, cruising its about 180 or so (dont like to see much less then that)
