Coolant temperature weirdness

[Brandon Rogers]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought low water temps (due to lots of air
through radiators) and high oil temps (due to constant high rpm, somewhat
constant boost, even if low boost) was normal for high speed driving.

Any corrections welcomed-

Brandon
