Default The fight against heat

In the seemingly never ending fight against heat I have added some 'air grabbers' in the holes that used to have fog lights.

I am still working out a few bugs including routing oil to the cooler mounted on the drivers side so I don't have any feedback on their effectiveness.

50/50 + Water Wetter

Coolant temps 210 - 220 on a 68 deg day. No AC running.

Oil temps 250 - 255. Same conditions. Oil cooler not connected yet.

Are you running a 160 t-stat? I typically run 1 gallon of super cooler with water wetter and the rest distilled water. 80-90 deg day never gets over 185 NO AC. I run a separate oil cooler and temps are usually 190-210.
