The oil can cope with the higher temps and maybe some engines don't lose  
power.  I only know that my dyno guy who does a lot of Minis and Spridgets  
told 
me about the oil temp related power drop.  He races a Mini and still  wins 
even though he is about 68 years old.
 
What does David Anton at APT say??
 
I have a 16 row cooler with a thermostat on my road car.

Well then, I'm really glad my  gauge doesn't read Celsius. 

I was told 200-230F is ideal with Redline  synthetic, but I'll check 
Stapleton's book. I have the 13 row cooler.
