In both cases we're talking about in extreme Texas summer heat though. I'll be out at MSR tomorrow for their Red Meat and Race Fuel thing on a real road course, I'm sure it will be enlightening. I expect I'll be able to reach 260 if I try. If that's the case, I'll probably invest in a bigger cooler install sometime this winter, for next summer. Not enough track opportunities left in this year's heat to bother really.

I *really* hope that AM Performance does some kind of consumer release of their oil:water cooling solution, that would be even better than a larger Setrab.
Hey now this Thermo plate you are talking about mind sending me a pm on that? Not sure what that is and what it is for if I need it or not.
