HuH?
You mean the overall driving of the car prior to reaching the point of pre-det?
After installing a late model fender cooler last year the car finally started to run in the proper temp range, not too hot (would normally run 220+ and traffic up to 240)
As for driving, the car is at or above 3000rpm (realistically) 60% of the time.
I've never had oil mayonnaise nor driven the car for such a short trip the temp never got out of the bottom box on the gauge.
FWIW: I sent all of my gathered running information and photos of the plugs to the owner of a well known race shop in CT. He told me the plugs were oil fouled (car has new plugs(2 had what looked like black cotton on them)), all running info was spot on and there was likely a good amount more of that burned oil carbon garbage in there.
I hope I'm a pussyfooter...because I don't want to know how expensive anything beyond carbon build-up would become.
