i don't think the Z's rad can dissipate much more than 80kJ, you're going to be pushing more than that when the oil is up at 280 and the coolant is heated accordingly.

hopefully the cooling system will prevent it from getting to that point...it's entirely possible that won't be a problem unless you are absolutely railing the car. I do know that if you get there, you are in trouble though.
