My GT6's also run in the range of 200 to 240. I have been told that is even t=
o high but don't know how get them much lower than that.=20
Either way, I am always concerned more with oil pressure. Keep an eye on tha=
t as often as you can take a peek at it. I think about 65 is good.  An oil p=
ressure warning light can help immensely and can save a problem from turning=
 into a big expensive problem. If the light goes on and you don't have at le=
ast 35 while cornering that's not good. If it drops below that in a strait l=
ine shut it down promptly and figure out why.=20
Good luck have fun!

We run 65 @ idle & 95 at speed, before oil temp rises to 200, pressure is 100.

Our GT6 is ready for it's first track day. We've added an octopus oil system,  3 qt accusump ,a larger scirocco rad with a 16 lb cap and a oil cooler. I've read we need to maintain a minimum oil temp so we don't damage the motor. What should the minimum temp be for racing?  Also what tire pressures do u run with
Toyo r888's?
