Yes?</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">More temp info: Air temp is near 100 degrees. Water temp is steady 185 degrees. Big aluminum radiator with electric fan. No oil cooler. Oil temp sensor is in the aluminum finned oil pan. IR temp gun says the outside of the pan is 170 degrees. Maybe the oil temp gauge is wrong? I wouldn't expect such a big difference between the outside of the pan and the oil temp.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Engine info: mild engine, stock compression, fast road cam (270 is my guess), supercharger with the medium size pully, pump gas</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Maybe I'm worrying about nothing.
