Coolant and oil temps go hand in hand
When the needle goes past the 3/4 ball the car starts pulling timing, usually it won't go into limp until it hits the 4/4 area
Humidity makes everything worse
If you keep getting faster you will probably need the full do88 kit plus the oil diverter valve mod which is an epic PITA to install. And then when you get really fast you'll have to remove the supercharger unless you plan on doing 1 hot lap followed by a few cool down laps

That's a buzz kill (removing the SC)!
I did the diverter valve install earlier this year, and yes it was a massive PITA!
There were a few points where I began to question my sanity. Thankfully I have a patient wife.
Regarding timing. Would the decrease in HP be noticeable?
