Snip.....
when you consider the NASCAR guys saying that the oil temp is 240 degrees and the water temp is 230 degrees and the engine is spinning at 9000 RPM they are happy

Don't draw too many conclusions from NASCAR engines since they all run 18-22 quart capacity dry-sump oiling systems, water-to-oil heat exchangers and 25-28 psi radiator caps with as big an aluminum radsiator as will fit, and no fans whatsoever. But checking oil temps at two or more places will provide a guideline if your car runs hot oil temps. Just remember, all our data is for pan temps so you'll have to sort of delevlop your own limits with the 'other' points.
