Got a track related question? I'll try to answer.

Just learned this today at the track. Swapped to grillcraft to protect intercooler rad etc in the front from rocks. Pitted when oil got up to 265F with Grillcraft + JR OC + Hood louvers...took grillcraft off and left the hole...next session oil came up to 244F after running high rpm for a while to see how high it would go, couldn't get it higher. 80F ambient both sessions. Not worth risking engine on track with this product, doesn't allow enough air to enter engine bay at speed.
