My 2.7 get up to about 230F in the summers and I'm looking to try everything possible to keep the temps down a bit. I am planning on installing a front cooler but that is more of a project that I can handle in the short term.
So does the GT style double grill actually help cooling significantly? Any other mods that can increase cooling- different fan or pully etc? 230 seems to be a high but acceptable limit but sure would like to have a little more wiggle room. Other weeks- will check the timing to ne sure its spot on. Also will try going back to the initial rich mix on the MFI. Pete |
