[QUOTE="racebronco2, post: 9802723, member: 11854"] Cooling a 450-550rwhp engine is alot different then cooling an ls1 with 350-400rwhp. Our piston to wall clearance is .001, with forged pistons it's .003-.0035. It's the heat created by the engine at those higher rpms and high speeds. The reason they call it a heaton is because it absorbs the heat generated from the engine causing the ait 2's to go sky high. I have done many high speed runs at several track in 4 and 5th gears. The highest being 163 in the mile. I have manley forged pistons with .003 piston to wall clearance. the best cooling mod i have done is the mod that makes our hoods real heat extractor hoods. I have run in 107* weather with speeds as high as 142mph with no problems. Engine temps were about 230* and ait 2's were about 160* at the highest temps. [/QUOTE]
