Anyway, yeah, *flow* is the most important thing, and a lack of it due to RTV blockages and loss of pickup during cornering have been identified as issues. I wouldn't think running oil temps of 275F indicated, 255F sump should hurt or reduce "flow".
All of this discussion makes me curious about oil flow.

Say at 5000 rpm, what is the difference in flow of oil at 200*f and 60psi versus flow at 260*f at 30psi?
