Cosworth Toolbox Data Question & Track Setup
Pulled the following off the captioned app. Question is: Are these value within acceptable ranges. Ambient Temp @ Track in AZ was 75 to 78 degrees.
Water Temp: Min=198 Max=246
Engine Oil Pressure: Min=33.6 Max=61.5
Oil Temp: Min=189 Max=282
Trans Temp: Min=149 Max=207
Max Tire Air Temp: 156 @ LF Tire. Ave all tires: 145
Tire Pressure: Start= 26 All 4 corners. Ave=34 High 36 @ LR.
Would really appreciate thoughts on this data and if any of the data is out of acceptable ranges, please offer solutions to consider.
Car is 2016 c7 Z51 A8 run all stock. Going to change all fluids and would appreciate comments about Redline Water Wetter, Trans Fluids and Rear Differential Fluid.
Plan on Motul RBF 600, stainless steel lines and trying to decide between, Pagid, CarboTech or PFC pads. Leaning toward CarboTech XP20's. Also going to put the cooling rings on and leave them----I'm in AZ so no worries re rust.
Anyone running a square setup on Wheels & Tires. If so, what size wheel & tire? Track wheel recommendations?
Thanks & looking forward to comments.

Everything looks good to me.
I've reviewed the Owner's Manual and other documents trying to find out what the max engine coolant, oil, and trans fluid temps are, but can't find anything.
The Owner's Manual has a long list of messages, and there are ones for several overtemps, but no list of max permissible temps - I wish there was!
The best I can figure is that, unless you get beeps, a light, a message that something is too hot, and maybe the limp mode, then I guess you haven't exceeded any max allowable temps.
A quick review of several of my sessions shows that I'm experiencing engine and oil temps very similar to yours, and I never got any limp mode or any other indications that the car has a problem with them.
I have the M7 trans, and toolbox shows max trans temps up to 295°, which seems awful high to me, but again, I never got any indication while driving that the car thought that was too high.
All of your data looks good to me.

I was running 15W50 Mobil 1 and the coolant to water ratio is the stock 40/60 ratio.

The toolbox is amazing!. There's so much info available. I don't know where to start.
Aside from the raw numbers,has anyone found a resource available to help read and interpret some of the charts and data?
