Also, the block material has to be taken into consideration. The material expansion between a cast iron block and an aluminum block is different also and it will affect the piston ring sealing.
Based on what I have observed in the dyno and discussions with others, the general temperature guidelines at the staging lanes are as follows:
Water 110° ~ 120°
Oil: 170° ~ 180°

I'd like to know how to achieve those temps. If I cool the water the oil follows, no way to get oil to stay 180*
