My question is what do you expect our oil temperatures to be at, with the understanding there is no factory oil cooler, assuming you're tracking or sporty driving on a hot day?

If the expectations of the 370z owners are that the car should be running at a perfect 190-200 degrees on a hot, track day without an oil cooler, I think the problem may be our expectations, not the engine.
