I have a few questions I need answers to.
1) How many of you track your car without the cooler and what were your temps?
2)How many of you track your car with the cooler and what were your temps?
3) My dealer is telling me that I should be fine without it. Is he correct?
4) In my situation meaning that the engine is getting pulled, how long should the cooler install take.
Thank you in advance and kindest regards,
Tom
1. I've not tracked yet but have done plenty of Canyon Carving in hot and cool temps
2. All depends on ambient temp? on avg 20-25 degree drop in temp for me on a GTM Comp 34 row oil cooler
3. You're dealers kinda right if you're doing one lap, and the day is cool? other than that a cooler is a must
4. 1hr to 1 1/2hr
