With the proper oil that is acceptable and my 40k track miles confirms that . Bearings in stock form are too narrow on the S54 and you will have wear at any temp , even on the street . That's why I went with the Lang racing widened bearing setup after my vibration damper failed and I was tearing down to look for bearing wear anyway .

With a CSF front mounted Oil Cooler and no FI, oil temps still hover around 250*F towards the end of a 20min session on track. I agree with you, this sort of wear will occur regardless of street or track driving.
