Oil Temperature Issues

You are in south cal, the 19R might be too small for you. Short shift by 500RPM, that will help lower the temperature for the short term.

Thanks for the quick response, it's much appreciated. I was just thinking the same thing, now I am seriously considering upgrading to the 25row core. A good friend of mine also asked me what my RPM range was while tracking. I think running the RPM's high will definitely increase the temperatures. I'm just hoping my car doesn't have a serious issue. We are going to Streets of Willow again this coming weekend, I really hope I don't run into the same problem again...

Id just go with a 34 row and call it a day

I've been on the canyons on 90+ days and have not had any issues with oil temps.

Thanks for the information! Hopefully a 25-30 row can fix this problem.
