My temps are different being down here in the south in the summer with 110+ temps and 99% humidity most of the time. Water temp stays ok (without FMIC) around 207 - 210 degrees (with Water Wetter) but my oil temps get up there near 250. Talked to several racers and that is not exceedingly high, but getting close. So an external oil cooler is for sure in the mix as well.
Its still a major work in progress, but it will come together slowly and surely the right way. I am in no hurry on this. If it takes 6 months, it takes 6 months. I have the 6 months till the season starts again for the GBRS. I would like to do some testing and what not before then; and I'm sure I will, just depends on the money and the time it takes to get the engine done. Maybe I will get back more than last year on the old tax returns and wont have to spend all of it on tires. We'll see though.

Well you said you have not removed any A/C stuff, so getting rid of that A/C condenser will open up more air flow. Also you should add some ducting to guide the airflow through the FMIC and then through the radiator. Do you have a hood vent? if not, GET ONE! With pushing more boost, your going to need something better than that stock Side mount I/C. That thing will heat soak within the first lap.
As for an oil cooler, yeah, you should get one for sure!!! That’s on my list to order yet.
I'll have to take a picture of how I used all the openings on my front bumper (97+ talon) for cooling and airflow.
