FWIW, my hawk did not do well in stop/go traffic on the street. I feel like an oil cooler would have helped, but I never installed it.

my commute included back country roads at 55-60, then coming into town for stop/go stuff. it'd get pretty hot running at high RPMs and then would act up when I had to stop/go.
