Water temps will get up to whatever the stock thermostat is set to. You just might slow it down some. The arguement here is, can the coolant keep the oil cool enough?

The single pass csf dropped oil temps by 10-15 degrees in normal driving when it was installed. Unfortunately, it appears that I will get to try out a 3 pass too.

No idea what it would do on a track. That said, I was pretty surpised at the difference. It pretty well suggests that if you want to run on track seriously, you should probably get a bigger radiator AND an oil-air oil cooler.
