Now with your massive oil cooler and triple pass radiator you should have your temp problems solved once and for all.

Although you still drive your Z on the street… May I suggest keeping a roll of Gorilla tape on hand to tape up your grill or you will never see temps above 150!

I actually had an issue at the track. Normally, I am fully warmed up after the pace lap. Last week I was shocked to see that my temps had not even cleared 180 after the first lap (I normally do not run the motor while gridding to give me extra time before I get fuel starvation).

the car still needs a tad more oil cooling, im going to experiment with the Setrab core that used to come with the AE performance oil cooler kit, then cut the bumper in the picture below that Martin Photoshopped for me so the upper rad gets air flow, the oil cooler core will get the whole bottom, the PS cooler will be behind one of the cut outs in the black section, and the side ducts will be for my AEM intakes to reduce IATs.

For DD, the triple doesnt over cool. ive logged temps during street driving. but also, i have a spare bumper i will be using for street use. the chopped up bumper will be my daily driver front end.
