I run the Stillen "Race" oil cooler and it helps a lot.

For you OP/Tuscon guys, yall should come up one Sat night and hang out with those of us up in P-Town. The more we get together, the more we can do. Check out 'First AZ Thread' in the Western Region section down below!

Question is, is that "normal"?? Not that I'm complaining about it---not at all!---but it's kinda weird, don't you guys think?! Thanks for the input.
As for temps here, I've actually had a recorded temp of 113*F on my Z and my oil temps were only @ 200*F. And thats even with the A/C runnin full blast drivin on the highway (65~80mph) .The good thing was inside the cabin it was 33*F lol

Did you have the oil cooler installed here in Tucson? If so by who, and do you recommend them?

Yes. I had Stephen from IA Performance do my oil cooler install. He did a great job and used some extra bits to make it a better, more durable/clean install. Many months now with 0 issues with the oil cooler.

Do you meet up every Saturday? I would be willing to shoot up(the Z needs to stretch her legs every once in a while). I only have one Saturday off a month though, cause Im in the restaurant business.

So far yeah, every sat night for almost a month now. Check out the First AZ Thread, we're trying to get more people to come up, then once it's consistent, we can figure out things to do and all. I'm willin to work out a swap where Tuscon guys come up one weekend, and then P-Towners can drive down since it's not far at all.
