Any updates on how you were able to check SC fluid temps? Thanks
I appreciate your concerns, and feel I have worried you over nothing. What I observed last weekend at the track, needs to be written of as a user overfill error.

yep, I have a temp gauge on my sc, so you wont need one @Sivtec played passenger/pilot and checked almost every lap, thanks

you have nothing to worry about, I never reached the temps that would be cause for alarm, close but not quite, I assure you, had a BLAST and everything was awesome.

SC Temps stayed below the prescribed limit during my runs, phx heat was 93-95 today, ambient a few degrees hotter at the track. I drove it trying to break it

I drove it almost ruthlessly, pushing it

Its hot where I live but nothing to be worried about, you dont need to buy a gauge, no need for it what so ever. promise. It is fine, in speaking with Vortechs R&D, its temps are exactly what they expected it to be in my climate, and so 'normal'

when correct volume of fluid is used, they have engineered a solution thats FINE at the track in the heat. Period. tested, check boxed, done. nothing to learn here, but I DID ensure I was not over filled, and checked my level 10 times till I was sure the top most thatch showed no oil , but all other thatches show oil, so I ran it 1mm low from full, PERFECT. I'm waiting to cool it off to drain and 'see', and expect it to look like it was when I filled it yesterday.
