How about oil temperatures? Before and after? Also what is a good temp to keep the oil at? Right now with my custom oil cooler setup I'm experiencing temps in the 230 deg F range. I think that may be too high. Still need to duct the cooler.

Now my oil temps are 10 degrees lower(90c water temps with 80c oil temps).
I used to run dual stock R1 oil coolers, but went with a setrab 25 row with a fan on the back that comes on when the radiator comes on.

With the 25 row that is on Van's car I was seeing oil temps around 75C. After I switched to twin TO4S's my oil temp was sitting around 85C and my water temp was around the same. With the 34 row I am now seeing around 78C with a smaller fan and the water temps are back down around 80C. When I rail on it the temps go up around 90-95C then quickly return to normal.

After hearing what you guys run for oil temps I better get out to the garage and do some ducting! I'm in the 110-115c range! I think I'm doing damage to my oil control o-rings because after decelerating down a long hill I can see a little puff of blue smoke in the rearview 
Seems to only do it when the car is up to temp though. HOPE it will go away once I get the oil temps down to ~ 80C.
Oh yeah, nice oil coolers you have their!
