There has been a lot of good information shared, and I'm also looking forward to hearing how the set-up works on your next track day.. Good luck JWillis, and thank you for using our product in your beautiful track car! I'm going to be featuring it on some of our social media/website if you don't mind..

can you PM me or email me (info@csfrace.com) your spec sheet.
Thank you, I will do that. Give me until after the 28th (I'm running Homestead) and I will send it with pictures on the track. I used your triple pass on a 7 AT but being in south Florida I wasn't worried about using the radiator to warm the trans fluid in the cold. It seem to be much happier getting the oil, supercharger and trans cooler out from right in front of it. Why the supercharger cooler is still there it's much further away and the radiator has a lot more fresh air getting to it.

NASA Texas does an event here every August. It is just brutal.

We are not as hot as you but that time of year we are high 90s and crazy humid so you are burning up and soaked the whole time. I don't get it,
the weather right now is lows in the upper 40s/ high in the lower 70s and they don't have an event until May 1st.

I was able to test the new set up at Homestead Miami Speedway yesterday and for the first time I have no cooling issues! Radiator never passed half on the stupid lights and oil never passed 220.

Since I'm a road race guy, but prefer N/A cars, I've been doing some work too. Your thread (and a recent DE) inspired me to get going on my setup for the 2015 season. Here's my latest progress pic:

Two Setrab 26 series coolers with thermostatically controlled SPAL fans and a Mishi radiator. Crash bar is getting Fabricated now along with some shrouding and NACA ducts for my brake coolers.

I like it and I would bet from my experience you will love it!

I have a CSF triple pass radiator in it, the hood is vented, running water and Water Wetter and have the fan going to 100% as low as I want to go. Next week we are installing a Stillen bumper, removing the washer fluid tank, venting both fenders to move some of the coolers to the side with fans to try to get them away from the radiator. I thought moving the heat away from the radiator would help but I am also adding a Frozen Boost cooler that will be in the way. What else can I do to cool it down?
So you no longer have the small trans cooler that was part of the OEM radiator - any issues with trans oil temps? I believe you have a 19 row trans oil cooler - correct?

Also - I read in another post that your engine oil cooler is not mounted in front of the radiator - is that correct? There's not much room between the rad fan shroud and the pulleys on the front of the engine.

I will say this only because I know a member has one, but GTM had a fan/shroud combo built and for sale. This leads me to believe either the SPAL fans fit our shroud or can be modified to do so.

My car is a 2009 so it didn't have that cooler but if it had I would have removed it. I have a Stillen bumper with the two extra vents. I have my oil cooler in one and my trans cooler in the other. It was the best thing I did for cooling everything. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...9fbedf0d0d.jpg
