Having an oil cooler made all the difference for me. Last time, I was going in between 3rd and 4th and was not pushing the car that hard and my oil temps were sitting at 260 by the top of Piuma. This morning, I was really hammering on it in 2nd and 3rd and even though the rpms never went below 4k rpm, the oil temps never went higher than 200 degrees.

Keeping the engine cooler makes it much more responsive and punchy as well due to heat soak and the various disadvantages of the engine running hot. I think we caught the camera guy right when he got there since he scrambled to get my picture on the way back haha.
