At the track we've found our best ET and MPH when the car is cooled to about 150 to start the run and generally is around 165-170 when finished. Hotter just slows the cars down so I don't see the loss of power with the cooler temps either. |
Yep. Same here. No problems with engines running 160`s. Street drive em in the summer here with a hot thermostat? Good luck.
Mostly, you will get to where you`re going. Coming back? That`s another story. [Hot soak]
