Car runs a lot cooler, 210 deg. water at Sebring in August. Cooler engine makes cooling the oil easier.

Ron Davis makes an excellentg product. If you go to any races just check out the corvettes. Most if not all have Ron Davis. If you go with the intergrated oil cooler you will have no cooling problems even at 140 ambient.

^ Awesome... did you hav the interior custom dyed tan? It looks a bit different than the 50th AE interior.

I like the attention to detail in that the air vents are even tan

Is that a caravaggo rear wing?
