All right guys, Yesterday I attended FT86 Cup at Streets of Willow CCW. I had never seen heat issues...before that day. As soon as I did my first two sessions I started seeing the coolant temperatures start to reach 210F. When I did my third session I saw it peak to almost 230F on my hot laps. Luckily I did not suffer any damage to the fans, but I had a feeling if I ended up staying for the last session than it would have melted them. Oil and Intake temps were perfectly stable.

I am going to order a 20amp 12" fan for the left side of the radiator, to see if I can pull some more air into that thing. Other than that everything performed well and I had a blast. Had a pretty high MPH spin that was the most awesome/scariest thing ever, luckily nothing was damaged at all.

Definitely have to take care of this heat, or I might consider switching to supercharger.
