Car ran good overall, did not notice any oil over heating problem. Oem header cracked about 30 track days in. Throw out bearing was gone at the same time. Toasted about 5 coil packs. Notice oil seeping around the cam sensor area near the end of the season and had to clean the MAF more frequently (once every few events). So vented both crankcase breathers, will report back next year if that helped.
What do you use to monitor the oil temps?

Something I remembered yesterday, I've never had an issue with a coil pack. I have had a spare one for years and never used it, strange considering the heat I put it through. .
