On track days session 1 and 2 are always my fastest times, even though I may not have my best laps. You can feel the engine start pulling timing at the end of a 20 minute session because the oil temps are so high. Here in the Midwest, many of our track days are in the heat, and the car feels a bit sluggish in the afternoon. Again, I feel like this is from high oil temps. I haven't logged my oil temps via Torque yet, because my phone is usually running Harry's Lap Timer Petrolhead instead.
Since NASA doesn't add points for aftermarket oil coolers, I think it's a great addition. I haven't selected one just yet, but it's an upgrade I'll be making as soon as I get my custom tune.
As for a transmission cooler, again a no point mod in NASA, I'm not sure of the benefit or if it is needed. I'm interested to hear what some of the higher profile drivers think about them.
