im guessing 190 would be optimal.. just seems my car runs best around there too much colder it has slight hiccups, and any hotter and it seems to get heatsoak and poor performance..

In general, you want warm oil temps, and the coolest coolant temps you can get to get the most out of your engine. As for me, I'll just end up with an EWP to keep the temps down in the staging lanes.
