Mine run about the same, though they don't go much higher than 215. Though in the middle of a heated battle I'm not inclined to look.

When the weathers hot and half way thru a race mine will reach 225 using a large remote oil cooler and 5W- 50 oil. GB Treefort |

Around 200 degress in the summer, little cooler in colder weather, with and external oil cooler and turbo radiator. |

thanks guys i appreciate it, also i ran a test and with my hood vents opened i was able to run 5-10 degrees cooler session to session so i think they were a good investment. |
