Good luck.
320 crank, there's no way this car is 380 crank lol. minor bolt ons & 4psi more than stock. either way, i take uoa's every year and the engine shows up healthy

What dyno did you put it on that told you crank hp? A typical bolt on evo on pump gas with 24psi on stock turbo with the typical boost taper is 320whp easily, especially a 9.

Also, what oil temps do you see?

Knowing who tuned your car, its very likely it's 320-330whp.

You don't know oil temps, so its great your UOA's come back good. But you can't say that's because your oil temp is good or not.

That's about where my car gets on super hot days, at the end of a 20min session. I posted in another thread... or maybe this one LOL. But I want to say I'm right around 260 at the end. It seems to hang around 230-260, if I remember right. But anyway, yeah: close to what you posted.

Yup, on cooler days it sits around 240ish. Sunday was some brutal heat. I drank over a gallon and a half of water from 8-2pm and there were still times I was getting lightheaded in the paddock.

If you don't have one of these, you're torturing yourself.

My old BMW 135i ran 240F oil temps normally on the street (right in the middle of the gauge). My 2017 Camaro 1lE ran 280F oil temps on track. Corvettes are similar. I’m not too worried about 260F in the Evo on a 90 degree day with racing oil in the sump. I’m more worried about my stock transmission, TC and rear diff to be honest.

It's because the N54 is boosted so it'll see higher oil temps than the NA S65. Combustion temps of boosted engines are usually 2-400F hotter than NA motors. Most of the heat that goes into the oil is from combustion heat.
