i asked csg mike directly on a tracking thread whether oil cooler vs hood scoop/louver in regards to engine oil temp and he replied
so moral of the story jacjac is spend the 500 bucks on an oil cooler. there are two reasons they are effective, 1. being the heat sink the air passes against cooling the oil, 2. being the overall greater capacity of oil the engine holds due to oil in the new lines and inside the heat sink. (more liquid takes longer to heat/boiling water kinda thing) i only get away without an oil cooler because i only use my car for daily driving

Thanks for the info. I already have a JR oil cooler installed. I'm worried about the coolant temps. I've heard they can rise to 240F+. How high are your water temps on track?
