As for the oil...please tell me you're running synthetic. You might be able to tweak the weight/viscosity for cooler track temps. An oil cooler has its disadvantages (by creating a underhood heat source and additional failure points) unless it's oem designed and located.
Yeah, Grayson. He's real cool; I've been trying to get him over to autocross.

Yes, I'm running synthetic. I've been between Castrol and Mobil 1, both 5w30. Might try AMSOIL next. What viscosity/weight would be best for cooler temps? The cars dont have an OEM oil cooler, and I completely agree about creating more spots for failure, leaks, etc. The block already has in/out ports set up for an oil cooler though (LS6 motor from the Z06).
