So I rebuilt my 3.0 into a much higher hp 3.2, I think its pushing 280hp. Problem now is just spirited street driving it runs at 210f with it be 80f outside; I'm sure on the track it will run 230+. I am running an engine cooler and the factory GT style Setrab oil cooler. If I want to run more track how large of an oil cooler do I need? What have you guys done in the past?
Also I am only running a GT lower valance, not a GT bumper, the hole seems large enough, could the GT bumper make that big a difference? Attached thumbnail(s) |

I'm going to open a can of worms on this response to Andys photos of his hood vent . I am tired of dodging the intermittent rain here while trying to work on my sail boat , So what the heck , I may learn something . Several months ago , there was a thread that was discussing how to exit the warm air from your front mount cooler....Tons of ideas where mentioned but the first absolutely thing you would never do is duct it under the car....I think that may be completely false...an assumption like the need to adjust back pressure in tuning , or some such baloney....914 's generate lift...watch the rear in in a high speed turn....warm air creates lift in two ways , less density and higher velocity . Both would normally be desirable under a car ( lower pressure ) both would be undesirable over the car...again Lower pressure....ground effect devices that harness the air for a designed purpose are exempt from the above , if they exist
