But I've asked before and was told no one ever runs hot, even on track, so I finally ended up making airflow changes on my own.
(the FT86SpeedFactory TA car had similar heat soak issues last summer)
Anyways, so I took out the factory crash beam, and replaced it with a "drift bar" which sits alot higher and now allows airflow to get a straight shot to the rad over the intercooler.
And the whole cooling stack is also boxed out. (it was also before but didn't help much)
Hope this helps anyone else before heating issues hurt your engine.

Ya I've thought about this method as well. Did you custom mount the top side intercooler bracket to the drift bar?
Do you have ambient temp, peak oil, and peak water temps before/after this change?
