I have the Stillen 19-row too, with a thermo plate. It's still possible to get just under 240 on an SCCA course, and I've seen as high as 210-220-ish in

I have the Stillen 19-row too, with a thermo plate. It's still possible to get just under 240 on an SCCA course, and I've seen as high as 210-220-ish in very aggressive street conditions. In both cases we're talking about in extreme Texas summer heat though. I'll be out at MSR tomorrow for their Red Meat and Race Fuel thing on a real road course, I'm sure it will be enlightening. I expect I'll be able to reach 260 if I try. If that's the case, I'll probably invest in a bigger cooler install sometime this winter, for next summer. Not enough track opportunities left in this year's heat to bother really.

I *really* hope that AM Performance does some kind of consumer release of their oil:water cooling solution, that would be even better than a larger Setrab.
