I'm in ITA with the single cam motor so may not be the same, but I have an oil cooler with no accusump. An oil cooler is pretty much a necessity for racing. I don't think a lot of ITA 240 guys are running a sump, though I could be wrong. I make sure the oil level is a little above F on the dipstick (which is what Bob said), but that's about it. I don't have an oil temp gauge at the moment so don't know what temps I'm running.
My water temps are 180-190 on hot days, seeing 200 when I'm behind someone. I'll see 170-180 on cooler days and maybe even in the 160s at the ARRC in November. Put in the biggest radiator you can fit. I don't have a mechanical fan on the motor so that opens up a lot of room. I added in an electrical fan that I use when on grid or sitting for some reason and also to cool down after a session.
I've got a Cendyne electrical oil pressure gauge and I think mine is starting to act up as well. It'll spike to 80 psi for no apparent reason and hold there then drop back down to normal pressures again for no apparent reason. If you want to see if it's the gauge, remove the electrical sender and hook up a mechanical gauge to see if you see the same thing.
