What are the high end of the temperatures that we should be seeing on the engine and engine oil during daily driving? Also track temperatures?

I'm seeing normal temps with a A&A Supercharger kit installed.
Even after a few back to back runs. Seems to stay cool. I am in a cooler part of the country. Cooling is a huge thing with A&A so they design with that in mind.

I've not seen anything odd in those 700 miles with the ECS system on temps, and every moment has been logged with HPT pro, WB, boost meter, and a laptop.

So I'm with him here. ^ ^

I was asking because in traffic I was at 215 on engine and 221 on engine oil. Guess that's fine but it's a little higher than before.

You'll always hover at 220 on the gauge for coolant, HPT will show 210 to 230, but my original (untuned) logs showed the same. EOT @ 221 is perfectly fine - what was it before?

I mean, depending on location, we have all sorts of options now on new radiators, oil coolers, etc. Finally!

I am interested in what options you speak of, the Weapon X radiator isn't ready yet. Does somebody else have a new kit out?
