How much oil is too much?

A basic question...but it's being asked.

Installed a Jackson Racing oil cooler a few days ago and thought I had the oil level ok. After a short drive from work today, getting oil up to temp, I checked again and it's a bit higher than what I saw the day I installed the cooler. That day, it was right at the max fill circle/mark. Now, it's roughly around the level you see here:



I checked my oil containers, and there is probably 6.8qts in the car. JR says it will take about a quart extra with the oil cooler. Anyway, the photo above shows the level with the oil warm. What do you think? I have a track day coming up on Sat at Road America. Interesting how drastically the oil changed between the two days, not sure how that happened.
