I would definitely invest in an oil cooler. NA s2000's run with very hot oil temps on track and they dont have the added stress of the blower. If you are going on track with a supercharger i would use an oil cooler and at least an upgraded radiator and heat ex-changer. Either wont hinder any performance and can be had fairly inexpensive.

I run a Vortech S/C at 13-14 PSI and only have the SOS heat exchanger with the Bosch pump. Stock rad and oil cooler. Ran 3 20 min sessions at a HPDE this year and zero heating issues. My brakes got pretty hot though!

Risky on the main part of that, which is your oil. As mentioned oil temps have proven to run very hot on this car N/A on track, so to not even have one Sc is temping fate. At the very least it will increase engine wear rate, and at most cause a catastrophic failure at some point.

So to get this straight... as long as I keep the oil within acceptable temp range, I don't have to worry about spinning a bearing or things of that nature?

No, you shouldn't. Your covering your bases with the oil temp/cooler, coolant temp/larger radiator, and AIT/larger racing heat exchanger. If you want to take it one last step further, you can do the vent mod to your hood or buy a vented hood for track days to help evacuate engine heat. Not required, but shown to be beneficial and work.
