Since 2006. Run an oil cooler and you will be fine

I do, no oil cooler but its on the to do list. mostly because of my 3200+ freeway cruise temps, not the filled block. After playing around with my trans cooler placement im down to 200-210° water temps on the average 85° day. Could use an HD meziere at this point over the CSR.

Funny, I drove mine for the first time today in 85degrees.It stayed at around 170 up to 180 at stop lights with the meizer hd pump.I was surprised I figured it would be a little warmer than that.

I noticed that with my new engine as well. My old 350 would run around 180 or so just farting around. My new engine is much bigger but runs cooler for some reason. I'm thinking that the AFR heads may have better cooling passages in them vs the TFS heads on the 350.

Thats good to hear. Lets say if I was running a turbo, would I be able to run an oil cooler in the oil line feeding the turbo?
