Has anyone considered adding a product such as Red Lines ZDDP oil additive? It's a zinc/phos additive for wear. Newer oils including synthetics are lowering the levels of zinc/phos for improved length of life for the cats.

If you can find the manufactures stated levels for the above you will notice that they are less than in the past. Mobil 1's new racing oils have higher levels than their over the counter varieties. I believe Red Line has also maintained higher levels in their oil.

This won't solve the temperature issue but it would seem to add a bit of a safety factor for the engine at higher temps.
