I had sustained oil temps over 270 at Roebling Road in August with no cooler. It was nearly 100 degrees out at the time. We can debate all day whether those temps cause synthetic oil to shear or not but I believe that the ECU is making major adjustments resulting in more power loss than we realize. According to my Solo data, my speed went from 104 at the exit of turn 9 to 120 at the entrance to turn 1 braking at the 100' mark. Gaining only 16 mph on that long of a straight does not reflect anything near 200hp to me. I have the Robi cooler going on this week and I will be back at that track the first week of Dec. I can't wait to see the straightaway change, would not be surprised to hit 125
