Default Winter project on the way

After having to back off while having the time of my life because of 300 degree oil temp I pulled the trigger tonight on DRM's track only oil cooler. Can't wait to get it installed so I'm hoping for a mild winter here in Tennessee

I've got their kit with the larger 625 cooler. Hottest the car got all summer was 257 and that's with 10w40 oil and a high volume oil pump keeping pressure up which can cause higher temps vs. stock and lower viscosity oil.

I got the 625 cooler also I use 10w40 too. I was pushing it back in the summer having to take a lap or two off every few laps. I hope that means my driving is getting better :-)
