From what I read the optimal temps are 180-200 after that there will be slight bogging down, after 220 especially. One day I may also decided to track or autocross it so I'll definitely need one then.
Since I want to keep the car a long time, I figure it's a good investment. I use red line oil , and it did help keep the temps maybe 5 degrees lower.
Well the story with the lowering is that because my CPA exam swallows my time  . The swifts springs are in my garage, and I'll just wait to get camber arms and install it all at once. |
i see... huh, i didnt know the engine was programmed for 180-200. im usually around 220 range during my drives. no issue bogging yet, but heat does take away some power especially after a long stop waiting for the freight train to pass or something. my IAT's like 130F+ by that time.
on a typical summer day my IAT's only about 9-11F higher than ambient.
ahh, so you're going to be ready to have a new setup when you're done with your CPA stuff.
which reminds me... i need to get my G's alignment soon. i hit a pretty big bump the other day on the road from all the heat where the asphalt raised up like 5-6inches.
wasn't expecting that.
