I will be doing a UOA once I change the oil as well. Looking to keep temps around 220-230F to maintain safe oil pressures, any recommendations on the next cooling mod after an oil cooler?
For the track, I'd rather run Motul Eco-nergy 5W30. It has a higher HTHS which will keep your bearings happier during track time.

There is some track oil pressure data in this thread, although keep in mind that the higher HTHS oils 300V are being compared. The 8100 series 0W20 and 5W30 would probably show lower oil pressure (especially after some time on the oil) due to their lower HTHS.
