Talking with another open road racer a few years ago about this topic, I was told you want about 230 degrees F and nothing near 290. That's a nearly 60 degree difference. But the way he gave me the information makes me think you want to make sure you stay down around 230. People smarter than me will know a lot more than me. I also run Amsoil full synthetic and there is a temp for viscocity breakdown but I don't have
I have a sender in the threaded hole next to the fuel pump. That's the main oil feed from the filter boss to the engine. Without an oil cooler I typically saw oil temps around 10 C above water on the highway. Never got more than 20 C above water when driving on the track either. Open road racing would be much harder on the oil temp but I haven't tried that. With the popular Ford water/oil unit I see water temp pretty much all the time on the oil temp gauge. The Veglia gauge is so-so accurate, keep that in mind. Oil is at 90 C approximately with what I think is a 192 F water thermostat.

For open road racing, depnding on the engine build and speed, a racer
will definitely want an oil cooler. Last year I ran the 120 class and spent a good amount of time near 130. My oil temp ran right around 230, so I knew if I wanted to move up to the 130-140 class, I'd need to add an oil cooler.
