Spohn's First track Day

wstar

Yeah on my last MSR-H day, I would get up to 240 pretty quick and then semi-stabilize, and then it would slowly creep out towards 250-255 the longer I stayed out there. But (a) I'm a on 19-row, and (b) on the longest straight I couldn't quite finish 4th gear, so I spent a lot of time crawling through the high range to get just short of the top and then never get to upshift.

I'm planning to stick with my 19-row for the rest of this year as the ambient temps are only going to continue dropping now, but I want to upgrade before the hot season next year. Either slap on a 25/34R cooler, or *maybe* look at doing something crazy like dropping the oil:air cooler, upgrading the radiator, and doing an oil:water heat exchanger.

Should be less hose length / pressure drop / weight from that setup anyways, and I suspect it will actually cool better (just based on the fact that AM Perf is running this setup for very long hardcore races). Still waiting to see how Travis's plays out first though.
