[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 15791335, member: 138028"] My experience with cooling on this car is when stock ALA you keep the car moving heat soak isn't really an issue if you are doing lapping sessions on a road course. If you are drag racing then yes usually after 1 pass it is VERY hard to cool this engine down to the point where you will have consistent runs. When stock I ran my car at Mosport 2 years in a row during the hottest days in the summer and never had a problem, the car would keep pulling up the back straight from 35-40mph all the way to 145+ before I had to slow down for the turn (most regular cars would be around 120-125mph before the turn). 2 years ago I went to ORX and changed out the stock t-stat to a Reische 170 stat, Lund tune (with revised fan settings) and trailered my car down to Daytona to run the Rolex course. I also had no problems there with cooling and I would think at Mosport with this setup I probably could get a bit more mph up the back straight with the engine running cooler. I have not ran my car in this setup at the dragstrip. It won't matter anyways since I have a VMP HE going on and also a 3:90 gear to install then I will try it out at the strip to see how it does, the car will also have a few pounds removed by that time also. For basics I would just do the stat, revised fan settings and go OR pipe (H or X), losing the converters also removes a lot of heat from the engine compartment helping your cooling system not work as hard, then get into the HE and stuff like that if you want better cooling.
