I wish I had worked on this months ago. I'm seriously hoping the temps cool off before out weekend.

Sounds like we have pretty good interest. They won't tell me exactly what the discount is going to be. Honestly I'm hoping for $50 off each unit. Regular price is $398-628 depending on size and options. Send me a pm with the specifics of which cooler you want and which options.

I installed the 25row with the protective line wrap and it is great! Good product, plus local contribution. I'll dig up my invoice for the rest of my SC peeps.

When you push it on a hot day, what high temps are you seeing?

I have never seen over 220. Our mountain run will be the true test. If it stays 220 or below climbing the mountain ill be 100% satisfied.

I say in traffic for a total of 3 hours yesterday and never saw temps above 200. I guess I'm going to hold off and see how the mountain cruise goes. I really hope I don't hit limp mode!

Last year before I knew of the problem with oil temps, my wife and I went on a drive threw the mtn and I hit 240. Had to stop and let her cool down a little. The car also!

Also got traffic court for my speeding ticket this morning.

Looking at weather.com its supposely gonna cool down somewhat through next week. Hopefully we have some descent weather. It would be nice for change to just roll down the windows and cruise...

$hit thought I was on the mountain cruise thread, lol... either way same difference.

Info needed!! I scored this side job that may put a large sum in my back pocket. Obviouslly everything will have to go according to plan, but was thinking either a supercharger or some wheels (Stillen/BBs F1's). So what I would like to know is who would you go to when purchasing either one of these? If I go with the charger I will be installing it myself then trailering it to Z1 for the tune, so basically just need the best deal.

Once you get the funds and you are ready to purchase let me know. I may be able to hook you up with a really good price through my buddy's shop. He won't make hardly anything off the sale so I don't want to waste his time unless you are ready to purchase.

As far as the wheels go, i have no idea. Tire rack sells them but you will probably pay full retail.

I think limp mode hits shortly after 240. I will have to double check though.

BTW - Your avatar looks like you are pitching a tint. Hopefully it's because your wife was sitting next to you.
