[QUOTE="Grant808, post: 14241471, member: 74892"] I've been more concerned about oil temps over pressure on track. From a practical standpoint, I can't think of a way to make a pressure gauge useful for knowing when to back off or pit while on track and gunning for lap times. Well, except that a pressure gauge can tell you that your engine is already blown and puking oil on track. Although a meatball flag from a corner worker, smoke or flames could tell you the same. ;-) I suppose if you're testing different oils, the pressure gauge might tell you more about what is different and as you suggest relate that to different HT/HS values. I have little interest in doing that especially after seeing what some of the other Bosses were running for oil temps when the ambient temps go up. Last season I wasn't too worried about temps either and just ran in cool weather, and in CA you can run in the fall and winter. This season, I've been wanting to run all year round and I think keeping temps in check in the spring/summer are more telling about what's going on with your oil and engine. That's why I added a Setrab 925 in series with the Boss cooler that I put on the GT last year. [/QUOTE]
