I wanted the extended run down track car is it? Boost around the 18-20psi mark?

[snwmbl]

18psi on the track. Pretty much track car only now as its not very comfortable on the street.

[Guest]

[GC8E2DD]

What do you call a race engine?

On a semi side note, How are you guys keeping the OIL temps down?! My track car normally sites around 110 on the track, even with a big Oil cooler?!

OK, well yeah. If I understand your question correctly, I have had first hand experience of lunching a motor from oiling failure at the Manfeild back track on RE001s. At least that was Al McClellan's assessment. Madmike and Tony helped push me off the track. Tony later told me he could hear bits of bearing rattling around like nails in a tin can as I went past (I couldn't hear it inside my helmet). She locked up all four as it seized.

Hmmm my oil temps might be a touch suspect to be honest, my temps are seen through a sump plug temp probe, so it's likely had a bit of time to cool down, however my temps never get over 70c on the street.

[Guest]

Not oiling failure im talking oil failure like oil not up to the task.
