I took my daily driver to a little road race practice course today. Each lap was only a minute and I'd stay out there for only 5-10 minutes. The first session I just wanted to work on tire temps, then I let it cool down. I actually logged the second session and have some questions.

Water temp: I live in Florida, so I run 100% distilled water with maybe 1-2 bottles of water wetter. After 7 laps, I noticed the coolant temp was at the 3/4 mark so I brought the car in. The scan tool later revealed the temp had peaked at 244*. Isn't that a bit warm? Solutions?

Brakes: In the front I have standard C6 calipers, Trackbrackets, DTC-30 pads, new standard C6 rotors. In the rear I have Powerslot rotors and HPS pads. All stainless lines and using SRF fluid. While it didn't have a problem stopping, the pedal became easier to depress and started grabbing hard closer to the floor. I didn't like the feel of this, how do I remedy it?

The log also shows it was pulling 4* of timing on all WOT sections. I bet I have a knock sensor code (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

RD offers either a tranny or an oil cooler, but not both on the same unit.

...bumper covers get droopy with age, and the bottom is not well supported

Tell me about it!

I spoke with Anthony at LGM again, and he clarified the previous information given by someone else. They still have the SuperCool radiators in storage, @$795 with the built-in oil cooler. The block adapter & line kit is an additional $450. He seems to think it's no more risky than having a new vehicle which has the trans coolers in the radiator (like the new Vette's). He said that the oil pressure is almost always higher than the water pressure, so if there was a failure oil would be added to the coolant, unless maybe you were idling and then you'd have to see the oil pressure drop.

So they're less expensive for the actual radiator, in stock, and apparently the same units they used on their World Challenge Camaro's? Is there any reason not to go with the SuperCooler? Since I'll already be in the area, is there such a thing as an aftermarket condenser which would make the A/C work even better?

I found this old thread on Tech, isn't 140* too cool?
