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 moved from the Setrab to a Fluidyne DB30417....gives almost 50% more actual cooling surface area & is built like bulletproof....

Mine was a 19 row 6 inch high by 12 inch wide with 2 inch core. Earls number 81900ERL. Peter Dawe said to get a bigger one when he did my 2.7 "refresh". You can research the core sizes on line at the manufacturers websites to get the comparisons. Fluidyne looked the best to me. |
