I don't think the majority of us go that fast for that long, might want to try SE for that kind of information. Unless someone has actually done that, we all guessing here.

My guess, probably will be ok but its just a guess

Speaking of cooling besides oil coolers and modifying the cooling system has anyone installed oil jets to keep the piston temps down?

The car comes stock with oil jets.

You don't need an oil cooler for most of the scenarios you guys are asking about.

Stock radiator is good enough for a hard day at the track. If you do have over heating issues something is the matter. If it is your radiator for some odd reason, Koyo and other guys make lovely dual cores that aren't that expensive.

wtf are you going 100+ for 20-30 minutes? You seem to be an idiot asking wrong questions on a site that dislikes people who say "Well im more asking that even if i am breaking the law will i overheat my car? lets say im going 100 mph in 6th gear for about 20-30 minutes. will that be a problem?" You live in america, no where in america is that legal.

A. This is not English. It's not even Engrish.
B. Whatever it is, it's rude as Hell
C. I drive over 100mph quite a bit. Deal with it.
D. Overheating is a legitimate concern
E. Go Away. Please.

I've had heating problems driving during summer months last year. I was seeing 220 ish temps sitting in rush hour traffic for example. I am going to vent my hood before this coming summer to hopefully alleviate the heat.

For reference it's 90-105 daily in July/August in Atlanta.

I have no cooling mods at all. In fact, I only have one radiator fan (it's larger than the stock ones though). I think having a vented hood will alleviate most of the problems. I'd guess that it'd lower coolant temps by 10 degrees.

I am relocating the brake ducting lines currently going from my front bumper faux vents to calipers to my turbo area instead and will vent my hood as well. I might get a larger oil cooler but I'm just weary of having more lines that could possibly fail and leak oil. I already had one very very bad scare when my oil return line had a hole burned into it and I leaked out 2 quarts of oil while driving.

Vented hood helps and is the easiest thing to do. Other things would be radiator, oil cooler, etc but I think thats overdoing it for a street driven car.

Also I can speak for justin, but its becoming known that the AEM CAL tables for coolant are off by about 15-20 degrees so if he hasn't updated them, his temps were fine
