chris what temps do you see on track? Nobody seems to believe the numbers I posted...

same question to you.



To OP-- I bet the car really feels great with the carbonetics. Dropping a diff in the car is one of the best mods you can do to a 370. I never got a chance to try the carbonetics out in the 370-- curious to hear more of your thoughts on how it feels next to other diffs you have tried?

I've seen diff temps of 400F as measured in the pits. In typical 20 minute sessions they don't get that high, but if you are doing sessions with only a short 20-30 minute break in between then the heat is held and the temperature builds more quickly. Mostly I see the high temps at events where it is "open track".
