I wonder if the oil cooler placement is contributing to the heat problem. IIRC the AZ car mentioned above no longer had the oil cooler in front of the radiator and intercooler.
Well I don't think placing a large intercooler in front of the radiator then an oil cooler in front of that is most efficient overall. Generally the car runs cooler in clean air. For track days its mostly a non issue, except for oil temp. But even in stock for its the idling like in an autox situation where you see temps get out of hand fast in terms on air intake temps and coolant. The under tray and sealed up engine bay make it very hard on the cooling system even in stock form. Add a blower as mentioned for a track/street car it is my belief as CSGMike this car needs a beefed up radiator, oil cooler and some type of hood ventilation, hood ventilation being key to help in idling situations. But that has trade offs as well for daily driving.
