I'm after the hook...............Super

I'm the one that didn't redline it at 165 degrees. My problem is the oil pressure is sitting at 8 on the gauge. 3500 rpms.
With cold oil, my oil pressure is pretty high. And I have NO / 0 leaks after switching to Mobil 1 mid stream.
So I always wait till the aux oil cooler opens to really run it hard.

Mine wasn't a matter of not red lineing it. I said "stretch it out". That means 5 -10 MINUTES at over 100 mph.
No traffic Saturday AM. And a Big Blue Sky.

Cheez......I can't get on the freeway with out red lineing. I always have to hit the brakes to get on the freeway.

Cary's House Rules :
Based on 14 years of 911 ownership. ( no scientific data )

I don't go over 3000 rpm's till the temp needle moves.
And no exercising until the front oil cooler is up and running.

Works for Me ............ I hate oil leaks.
