[QUOTE="N/Angel, post: 13554417, member: 41688"] not sure if I'm understanding this correctly. I'm currently running the car without supercharger with approx. 300hp. I can run at 6500rpms in 6th gear at full throttle for a longer period without any overheating issues but the car doesn't get faster because at that point it needs more power. I'm not letting off the gas unless I run into traffic as this would slow me down and 150mph is a good speed for the Autobahn section I regularly drive. As soon as traffic is over I downshift to get back to the speed quicker, which probably is part of why my car runs cooler because it doesn't have to struggle to get back up to speed in 6th gear? It was very different with the supercharger, I would run out of gear (had 4.10s at that time) while the car still would go faster and run out of street while trying and therefore never got a good top speed run, obviously it didn't overheat trying but might have if I had enough street and gear :shrug: now my first two laps on the Nürburgring I was in 2nd and 3rd gear most of the time because I was afraid to upshift and not being able to downshift in time for the next turn (yes, I admit, the ring definitely freaked me out). In these two laps my oil temps were as high as ever at 120 degrees celcius and my coolant was between 200-210 degrees (don't know how to change my aeroforce to celcius). The mix of me driving rather slow and in low gears ended in the highest temps the car has ever seen. [/QUOTE]
