We have a 540 Chevy in a Don Davis Super Gas Roadster so it's car that gets driven around, not towed. The oil temperature in ours seems to stabalize between 220 and 230 degrees even when the car is hot lapped, I'm fine with that.

Let's see...temp between 220 and 230...in an open engine compartment with a hood scoop.
Compare to an enclosed engine compartment in a Stocker or Super Stocker with no hood scoop, the temperatures would be higher.

Also, between 220 and 230 temp, and oil with a flash point of 350 to 503 depending on the brand...bearing clearances affected, piston rings affected and aluminum rods, if used, also affected...

How many racers have an oil temp gauge? Most have an oil pressure and water temp gauge only.
