290-300 per the analog gauge. My understanding is the digital display on the DIC isn't accurate but the analog gauge is. However the analog gauge is hard to read an exact number. Once I finally get around to installing an oil cooler set up, I'll be sure to have a more precise temp gauge installed.
Last track event was at NCM during Camaro Fest and with the rain it really cooled things down so temps weren't an issue, plus I was running very conservative. The event I ran before that was in Houston heat at a local track. Ambient temps were in the high 90's, I pretty much sent the car into a limp mode because coolant temps were nearly maxed out. Shame on me for not keeping a better eye on this. Thankfully no damage, and all of my oil analysis reports have come back OK, even with oil temps hitting or exceeding 300.
I have since changed my thermostat and the coolant to Engine Ice. I think I'll be OK with temps, my next track event is in November and temps will be reasonable by then, however I need to address this prior to next summer.
