Post HPDE oil temp update

ChrisSlicks

I do about 14-15 days currently, and yes in the early spring and the late fall when temps are cooler everything runs nice and smooth. Once the temp gets over 80 things start getting pretty hot, and at 85+ there is a noticeable drop in HP and lap times (due to traction and HP), water and oil temps start climbing quickly. Can only go about 10 minutes before having to give it a break in those conditions, in Texas it would be far worse.

If you're going to do a fair amount of track buy the largest oil cooler you can, run a block off plate when DD'ing. Since the oil cooler by itself isn't keeping up for me I'm going to upgrade the radiator, and go to a vented hood to help increase air flow through the radiator, and increase the oil line size for more flow since the AE kit came with -8AN lines.
