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) |

Thanks guys. I appreciate the oil cooler info. I heat wrapped my oil line that was next to my header, and sealed up my front oil cooler shroud better. I am down to 195f at 80f outside, with spirited driving. I'm going to do an HPDE in December and I will see how quickly it wants to get to 230f.
I am thinking of heat wrapping my headers and getting a GT bumper as my next steps. Although a GT front bumper is more than an oil cooler... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
