    LS oil temperature

     



    We had a discussion at coffee time today and I thought I'd continue it here and see what you guys thought.

    Consider an LS engine, 10.5 CR, EFI, no turbo or super charger, quality cooling system, blueprinted engine properly broke in, let's say about 500 hp/torque at the flywheel what would you consider to be an acceptable range for the oil temp while cruising, and while being flogged a bit on a road course? Then, how much would a hi-quality oil cooler properly installed with adequate air flow lower this temperature???

    Thanks!

    PS--engine running on synthetic oil, forgot to put that in.
