don't get me wrong but I don't believe the terms "overkill" or the "overcooling" when it comes to tracking with an FI car.. especially with the power levels that you currently have and the nature of the TS type SCs that are prone to create excessive heat and pressure on the internals .. I wish you the best of luck man,

Highest I've ever seen with the Robispec is 220. This also wasn't a track day, but an AutoX at a track. So 14 runs at 40sec each, with at least 5 minutes of cool down between, rather than 20 minute run groups.
I agree that no properly set up cooling solution can be too much. By overkill I meant that my demands on it are WELL within its capacity.

It's a full race radiator replacement. I forget how thick the core is, but at least 2 inches, with the oil cooler integrated into the side tank. It keeps the oil temp very stable and eliminates the need for a thermostatic valve.
When I went FI, I knew cooling would become a weak point, so I went with what I felt was the best solution available at the time. This gives me shorter warmup times, no tstat to fail, and oil cooling at slow speeds/stationary.
Oh and the Massive increase in water cooling capacity.
