If the engine was a State Police Cruiser and required to run max speed for 15 miles to get to a bad accident then the continous high speed load would necessitate a proper oil cooler and other mods. Most street cars never see over 5 seconds of WOT unless playing games at night time in Oklahoma.

It will be interesting how the oil temps react to a 1/4 mile run.
