I recently bought my first Porsche race car. It is a beast, 3.5 with 13 to 1 comp. GE80 cams and 50mm PMO's, running Swepco oil.

At the events I've run so far, I finally got the oil temps above 200 by taping over most of the oil cooler, so I now know I need to watch that.

I want to get the car dynoed soon, and I'm wondering how long should I warm the car up before putting the engine under any load?

It takes about 15-20 minutes idling to get the temp guage to move at all, if at all.

Should I be at operating temps when I dyno the car? It might be hard to get the temps up to 200 without being on the track.
