need some knowledge in here my car has been running hot (240 degrees) after WOT bursts in 3-4 gears since i got my cam, headers and heads in. my rev limiter has been raised to 6700 and when it starts getting hot the oil pressure drop to about 20. what could be causing this? also i have the stock timing chain and was wondering if it can hold 550 rwhp as i plan on spraying the car very soon.

Re: need some knowledge in here Its normal for the oil pressure to drop when the engine gets hot. The oil get thinner, so pressure drops. 20 at idle is perfectly safe.
Stock timing chain.... probably not a goot idea in the long run with the power you are planning to put out.
