Oil Temp Question...

I am just curious as to what temp you guys let the oil get to before really getting on it?

I like to see it get to atleast 150* before I take it over the 2500-3000 RPM range.

Yea, I do the same thing. I like to let it warm up at idle until it is at 100-120 before I start driving it. Mainly to let the valve springs warm-up.
