Message	we have never exceded 195 F at the track - even on a 100F day. The cooling setup is as follows All OEM = shrouds in place NEW Fan + fan clutch block drilled koyo radiator billion thermo (thanks Kuah) silkolene with water no ac seperate oil cooler 1 ft in front of radiator air ducts from fog lights to radiator area I do know that removing the fan shrouds increased temps 20 F and climbing. Removing the rear engine cover increase temps significantly. We are also not running the heater core. I have the tube plumbed back into the passenger side head after feeding the turbos.
