Default oil temp

Just curious, what oil temp for a LS base engine is safe before WOT and and how many miles on oil is out of the safe Wot. !000hp to 300hp and whats ur oil psi

Y im asking is every day i take the same way where i make a left turn and there is a stretch of road where i can bang 1, 2 safely.. I start my car first thing in the morning and take off and no warming up by the i get to my turn my oil temp is always between 75 to 90. I never checked what the temp until yesterday. So let me know what u guys think. Probably wont get a-lot of answers because this pretty technical , but if get one ill be happy.

I was told by the performance shop that did my cam, wait till your oil gets to 150*F then your good to go. (Hammer down).

Guys forgot mention i just passed 20k on the oil. It took about 4yrs to get to 20k. Well i found some interesting #'s WOT my oil psi was between 80 and 90psi , I always have the scanner on incase the engine lets go, so next time i ll tune where the flaw was, the oil has 20k on it and i bet thats why i have. 115psi. So what im getting at is as the oil gets older the better protecting it is.




The beeping u hear is because i was trying to get Grinder!! of the road. He was swaying because he was already drunk at 8am. I think he drowning himself from all the yrs his wife beat on him.

Look at dach oil temp. I wonder how low the oil was when is was cold out. Its 40's here know. Iv been doing this for 15yr. this is what keeps me sober everybody has their own
fix. I pulled 5lbs boost and 4*timing so i can at least get traction in second. Enjoy. I think we can say that u can go wot at 75 up. I have 65k mile on motor
O i checked oil on my finger and it take a little bet to drip off compared to clean oil . When ever i get around to change the oil im going to post up. My fitler was 1.50 Quaker State. Check it out, i think it proved itself.
