Default Please help: Optimal oil and trans temps?

Guys,

1) What is the optimal oil temp range?

2) Who makes the best oil cooler for a supercharged LS3 engine?

3) What is the optimal transmission temp range?

4) Who makes the best automatic transmission cooler for a C5 coupe?

5) What is the optimal water temp range?

Thanks!

I can give you just my personal opinions in some of them.. I don't know if you are talking about "On the Drag Strip" or on the "Street" in normal driving..

At the track I like

Water Temp at 160

Trans 130- 150

Oil 150 +

On the street my water temp is between 180 & 200 deg

Tranny close to that 170 on the highway... and oil temp around 210
