I ran a DE this weekend and the weather was hot, averaging high 80's to low 90's. By the end of a 20 minute session, the temperature guage was bumping right up to the red mark. A "parade lap" would quickly drop it back down.
I did a quick search on cooling and I ran across a link to BAT. They have a unit that mounts to the engine lid. Price seems reasonable and it might even be DIY. My car is 50/50 driver and DE. Anyone have any experience with this setup? Am I wasting time thinking about it and should I just go ahead and do a front mount? Thanks for comments. |
