Just beat the piss out of my car on the same route I take home, with the same type of temps out and normal. I did local driving from GF's> highway for 8 miles>2 miles of local town driving with plenty of stop signs until I reached home (I like the scenic route home).

Just beating it as much as I safely can on the streets, keeping it in 2nd and 3rd gear mostly, downshifting frequently to 2nd. Normally, oil temps would be 220 immediately, timing would be retarded and loss of low-end power would be very noticeable.

With the adjustment done, oil temps remained 180-190, no feeling of timing pull, and hardly any feeling of power loss. Car felt fantastic and zippy all the way through the town, which is normally where it just feels flat. There was no sun out, but weather was in the 60s. We'll see how it performs under hotter conditions as they come - but I am very confident in this mod.
