[QUOTE="gcassidy, post: 10909243, member: 13216"] In addition to the Fluidyne we installed (pic above), this shows the lower air dam we put on. Its a piece of trim left over from a '57 Chevy restoration-kinda cool. Anyway, I just got back from the 3 days at VIR in 100+ temps and heat indices of 110. With those mods, my car was still running close to 240~245 degrees after 8 laps or more. And the oil temps were in the 230~240 range. Lots of cars were being destroyed by the heat there. I think mine would have overheated if we hadn't done these mods. So just a bigger radiator and a low pressure area is only part of the solution. I think hood extractors and a boxed radiator would have helped, but I'll probably not do that to my car. Doing TT I can just do a couple cool down laps when I need to.
