Normal Gauge Readings

So we all know the Camaro has:
  • Oil Pressure
  • Transmission Temperature
  • Oil Temperature

What are your normal running readings for each? At what point do you consider shutting down to let things cool off?

Just wondering.

I was just wondering how hard I could push my car on the streets before things get too hot, if ever.

You'll want to let it cool down around 270* for Oil, 250* for coolant.

It's really unlikely you'll get it there on the street.
