my engineīs are always 15-20° hotter than his, just because iīm so hard on the throttle and heīs so smooth.
Yes. I have made a truggy engine run at 250 when the owner gets it around 190. And when I did that the engine was spot on for me while to rich for the owner when he was running it at 190. Didn't change the tune only the driver. I can make an engine run hot. But 300 and up is dangerous. I don't tune to temp but IMHO at 300 the lube package is starting to break down and protection is going to disappear.
