By the way, are you checking tire temps across the treads to determine optimum camber? If so, which pyrometer are you using?

Yes I will be looking into a bigger oil cooler core. The Mishimoto one is good for most circumstances it seems, but a bigger one definately wouldn't hurt.

I have a Longacre pyrometer, but was only using it in the rear since I don't have any adjustment capability in the front.

Thanks! I will write a detailed report on it in a separate thread and link it in this thread.

Yes the LSD will go in ASAP. My next time attack will most likely be the Super Lap Battle Qualifier at Auto Club Speedway the first weekend in August.

Yeah I had the same problem on my 350Z as well but that car was a fully prepped race car on sticky tires which generated much more lateral grip. Did not expect it on a near stock 370Z with street tires.
