So I after posting my oil pressures daily driving the car with 5w30 I had the chance to run a TNIA event back in May at Gingerman. Kind of a shakedown and practice for Gridlife. The post is here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...2&postcount=45

I closely monitored my oil pressure and oil temp at the track after running 3 20 minute session

The ambient temp outside was between 60 to 65 and it was raining.

Still no oil cooler installed.

I cannot go to detail as I was focusing on the driving but I had my oil pressure and oil temp set to go off at a certain threshold.

<35psi and >230F

The worst temp I got was 250F and my Oil pressure stayed around 35 to 40psi up to 7K

Obviously that is not ideal as you want +10 psi per 1000 RPM. So 7k shouldve been 80psi. It wont get there ever even at 220F

40 PSI is still okay IMO but you really need an oil cooler to drop those temp down. I had to cool down every other two laps.
