Not sure really what you're asking, but I will say, after running this cooler for 1+ months, that it delivers pretty much all you'll need on the street. My temps run at 195-210 degrees under all conditions..

Mod,

What's the highest ambient temp you had in NC so far while you've been running hard?

It's been over 100 here for the last week or two, and I'm wondering what kind of cooling I'd get...

in 90 degree temps I haven't been able to push it beyond 215 degrees..

and down here in Atlanta, during rush hour stop and go traffic the other day, I hit 255! This is definitely on my to do list when I get time.

i just wanted to ask whether you think the setrab coolers are significantly better than the tru-cool. i'm planning on tracking my car, but i dont want to go through the hassle/ expense of ordering another cooler if this one is sufficient.

also, racerparts wholesale is out of the mocal sandwich plates. do you think this one would work? does it have the right specs?

i do not need a thermostatic function b/c i'm in southern california.

thanks again for all your great info.

I don't think the temp deltas will be more than a few degrees actually (from seeing data reported here). If you don't need the thermo function than any Plate will work. That one linked should do the job..

A bit off topic Modshack but where did you get the vinyl kit for your bumper?

No Vinyl kit....I had some accident damage that meant a new front Bumper. I just had them NOT PAINT the fang area....

Ohh nice!

Hey Modshack,

does having a cooler change the oil change procedure in any way? I'm thinking the oil stuck in the cooler/hose won't be drained out during an oil change. Can you explain the concept of this? Thanks.

Not a problem and very easy. Just undo one or both of the AN fittings at the adapter plate and drain the cooler. Since the tru-cool mounts with the ports down it is easy to drain it. A port up design would result in a cooler full of old oil remaining in the system..

ah gotcha thanks.

I apologize if this has been addressed, but is there any clearance issues between the elbows at the oil filter and the panel that covers the oil pan on the underside of the car?

On mine (the Stillen kit, but same basic issues at the sandwich plate) I simply rotated the sandwich plate a little so that the connections are on the front side rather than the bottom (not completely 90 degrees from the picture, but damn near it). I did that more for easy oil filter removal than for ground clearance, I don't think it's an issue regardless of direction.

Good to hear :tup:
