when i ran the car at the drag strip the hotter it got the more it slowed down .12.800 pass when to a 12.95 on the next run after i let the car cool for 45 min. When the oil hit 110c it would only go 13.2 to 13.3's.
Un belivable how it loose's power.
It runs best at 80 to 90c for oil temp.
GTM track oil cooler on its way as soon s Sam ships it to me.
