- try to move the oil cooler core back just a bit closer to the radiator core... or put some high temp foam between the two

Should buy you another 20+ degrees F!

You may be able to rig something up at the track to test

Thanks Travis. Won't get a chance to try today, but I'll give it a shot before Summit Point in 2 weeks.
