I not sure what to tell ya since mine was tuned and modded six months after I bought it and Seb gave me a hot weather map that pulled a little more timing than normal and I never really experienced anything other than would be expected with high temps as the performance is going to be lacking when temps are above 100*. I really baby the car when it is that hot and if I have to do full throttle pulls they were short and brief. I hear you that your oil temps are not that bad but I would also encourage you to get at least a 25 row oil cooler. More protection is better and take some stress off your system. It kind of crazy on 100 plus days and you start the engine and your oil temp is at 140 or 160 just setting in the sun. The bottom line heat is not a friend to combustion engine.
