I'm concerned about the whole '220F' and the low end torque is toast thing.

Are you noticing any of that? There's a number of threads related to people raising concerns for that issue.

I know about the 280F aka limp-engine-protection mode, but that's for temps over 220F.

I have about 12K miles, pretty much mostly track, about 12-14 track days since I bought it in Nov-Dec of last year....I think too many people pay too much attention to the temp gauge lol. With the stock cooler on a 2012 you are fine unless u plan to track in the summer. Even with a 34 row cooler at the track I still hit 265 deg or so, it just doesn't go past that.

This engine runs hot and dirty, just need to do oil changes more often....
