How many people would run an oil that gave them 30psi at redline at normal operating temperature? Now why not?
The boxer cooks itself from the exhaust being under it like a pot on a stove.
Definatly need air flow to the oil cooler.

Next track day I will try upping to a 10w-60. I'm not seeing pressures that low at normal operating temp, just once the temps get hot.
I will try removing my foglight and see if that helps get more air to the cooler. Is a hood vent necessary though? I know these engine bays are pretty sealed up and my mindset is what good does more air in do if it has no where to go
