6.0L iron block here w/ stock radiator and Z06 oil cooler. My cruising coolant temp w/ a 160* stat in the summer has been 182* to 199* depending on speed/stop & go. My cuising oil temp is usually under 200*. Hot oil pressure is ~50psi+ at idle with a melling high pressure/high volume. Joe Gibbs LS30 oil.

It's an alloy block ls7 with a blower. It's goin to b totally different. It's oil pressure gauge on the factory not temp n water temp. Trying to see what others have on a setup like mine. Thanks for the info tho

Thought you were asking about temps from the title so I just provided it all... I've got a Procharger F1A making 900. Hope someone w/ your exact setup posts up if that's what you're looking for.

Nah factory gauges. Wasn't being rude but obv different block will have different temps n pressures

Stock LS3 with T-trim Vortech here. 607rwhp. Base model car with no oil cooler. 115F ambient temp and I see 196-203F coolant temp at 60-80mph with AC on. In town I see 215-225F coolant temp with AC on. Oil temps are 225-235F. With synthetic oil and alloy block/heads I am not worried. Amsoil Z-Rod oil. I still change it every 3-4k.

I'll get an oil pressure reading in a few minutes for you.

im seeing bout 30psi oil pressure at its lowest at hot at idle oil pressure and 220 max water temp with ac stuck in traffic.

Sounds fine to me.

cheers. thanx guys. now i just gotta learn all the buttons in the drivers seat lol

That's fine. Do you have a 160 stat in there? If not, you might want to do that although the time to do it was during the A&A kit instal as I believe that now the blower bracket will be in your way.

Purchased the car done from vegence racing so assume so. Pretty standard practice these days

if it ever drops below 196° while cruising , it's probably a 160

ECS setup on stock LS7 with 160 thermostat and Dewitt radiator w/oc

Cold oil pressure @ idle - 75 psi
Hot oil pressure @ idle - 45 psi
Cruising oil temp @ 90+ ambient - 174 to 186 degrees
ECT - 189 degrees almost without fail

Mobil 1 0-40 European oil
Bosch distance oil filter

That cover it ?

For an extreme situation, I back down on the car on the road course when oil temps hit 300*. Coolant will stay under 235 and Z06's with the dry sump never go that hi in my experience.

perfect
