Preparation for the STILLEN supercharger

you just threw out celsius numbers...Let me recalculate to fahrenheit...friggin' Canucks! LOL

100* temps= 212
30* temps=86

OK, so when visiting the 1/4 mile on an 86 F degree day you are seeing temperatures in the 212 F range.

I can't say exactly what is different but a 13 second pass down a 1/4 mile is not giving the engine much time to heat up the oil in comparison to a 30 minute session around a race track where you are constantly unloading and loading the engine and putting significant stress on the oiling system. I'm not saying that a blast down the drag strip is easy on the oiling system, but in comparison the race track is going to be harder on the oil for a longer period of time. It is my understanding that the majority of the cars overheating the oil are experiencing this issue on the race track.
