The point is that I run my own car far hotter than what you claim is safe.

Yes, my engine is currently stock. Down to the 13.6:1 AFRs, which most would consider unsafe.

Regardless, the FA20 does reduce output with high oil temps, and IMO, every FA20 should have an oil cooler, even NA.
I gotta say man, that's a knifes edge setup. Since you have a pretty serious track car and seat time, you really might want to look at changing that up. I feel like long-term you'll have issues. I guess the advantage is you change the oil A LOT but still man, 13+ AFR and 270F temps sound like a bad mix
