I currently run 0w40. I've thought about trying 5w30 or 5w40 to see how my pressures react at those higher temps. Maybe, my next oil change I might give a different weight a try. I definitely agree that a quality oil even at 270 would resist breakdown quite well. It's really the pressures that have me a bit concerned.

If you go up a steep enough road in 2nd and 3rd gear at a spirited pace for 20-30 minutues straight you'll hit those temps with no oil cooler. Brake pads will fade and tires will get greasy just like on a track.

I had done some good before and after measurements when installing the Jackson dual radiator water to oil cooler. My finding ls were as follows:
-with regular 0-20 oil, driving at high rpm (say at 4000rpm or above) on the highway for 20mins or more can really crank out temps to 250F and up to 280F. I found its more a factor of rpm rather than speed. -my recommendation would be for anyone NA Or FI that likes to drive at high rpm for extended periods to at Least go to a quality 5-40 oil. i would strongly recommend an oil cooler for Someone driving extensively at 5000rpm or more, such as on track. -for my case, the dual jackson rad/oil cooler was very effective for an all year round solution , and kept temps below 240F (with 5-40 oil) even in high demand situations , while helping warming oil up in the winter time as well.
