I definetely need to do something about my temps or forget daytime summer driving. In the 102* heat today, I saw 239* water and 268* oil. This was short shifiting and cruising on the highway at 65 1,900 rpms. Even right now at 10:15pm, it is still 94* outside.
I spoke to a tech at Ron Davis and he recommended going with a combination radiator and that they only experience 3-5* in water temp but ~50* decrease in oil temp. I could have sworn I read from others in this thread to run a separate cooler.
The same guy also said to run a 50/50 mix with the old green Prestone for the best results and that adding water wetter would not help. Does this all sound correct?

I don't seem to have any heat issues with my intercooler. It mounts way further forward than any others I've seen.
My inlet actually goes in FRONT of the skid bar mount.

I have the same hood and have never had any heat issues, someone needs to design a new front facia and go to split intercoolers to keep radiator/oil cooler in front of air flow.
