Well I have to think it was the cold ambient temp that helped me on oil temp ( i've been reading oil temp issue on this site for a year now so was keeping close eye) - I ran high RPM each session don't think i dropped below 3500 to often maybe 3000 low- hit the red line down the front straight most laps. Drove a bit beyond my skill sets but Z was forgiving & fun- so was pushing both to the limit. I did notice a fairly quick drop in oil temp if I eased up a bit- in the paddock after the race in about 5-8 minutes dropped to 180-190 F @idle
Yes stock pads- performed OK but did get a lot of heavy pulsing/grabbbing on hard brake at end of front straight was pulling down from ~ 130 to maybe 70ish mph in ~ 400ft before entering turn 1 (guess at speed as only see tach). Pulled the wheels today to check all pads- did wear a lot as I expected as tons of dust on the rims @ track- but they wern't scary or anything - found quick short hard brake worked best after a few laps- but want to improve braking and looking at SS lines and HPS pads. Want to get this all done in next month for next track day in NY- hope to get 3-4 track days in per season- this is just for fun for me.
I installed my Stillen G3 & Cat Back myself and will also do the cooler as well. Happy with Stillen and looked at their cooler as well. Are all the oil lines pre-cut & terminated with fittings- that is my main concern as that is what guys having problem with
