Different situation here, no filled factory block. Running IA2 block with no cooler for the engine oil. Transmission cooler only. Last time out it was a 116 mile round trip for lunch on a 93 degree day. Generally 60-65 MPH cruise speed on the open highway, at around 2300 rpm. Water temp ran between 180-185 degrees and the oil temp ran 200 to 210 degrees. 60-70 lbs oil pressure at cruise rpm / 20-30 lbs oil pressure at idle rpm.
