Thanks everyone for the advise on the
oil thermostat/teperature. I think what I will do next is make a cardboard block for the
oil cooler and drive the car in cool weather with it for a day. This should give me an idea on whether the
oil thermostat will be effective or not. I will let everyone know what I find.
Dean, I have not yet had a chance to really play with the electronnic traction controls on my car. I want to get all of the little problems relative to the egine (like oil temperature) straighten out, then do a full dyno tune to get the engine at peak performance, then I will calibrate the ETC. I am not having alot of problems with rear wheel spin (I am running the Goodyear gumballs which stick pretty good and my cam is radical enough to limit the low end torque somewhat). I will post the results of all of this as I work my way through it.
