Sorry was out of town for a family reunion.

Had a couple issues with the water temp but they are pump related. The meziere will be coming off the car. As long as the RPM's never went above 5 grand the temp stayed in the 180-190 range. As soon as it went over 5 grand the temps would creep up to 200. The radiator worked great, the pump however, didnt. I will be going to an evens pump as soon as I can sell the Meziere.

I never was able to get and oil temp sender in the oil. The gauge was in the car but not hooked up. Chances are that if the water temps were at or close to 200 oil temps werent to much higher. Bill Springer was there in his WS6 and ran in a faster class than me and is also running the LG radiator. I think he said his oil temps never got above 220.

nice. guess that LG radiator may have been worth the cost and hassle to install.

I ran in the 168 tech speed class and in fact was running at near WFO@172 mph at 6100 rpm for a period of time so we were running it very hard. We were in DQ territory and didn't even know it until I checked the in-car vid later (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I crossed the finish line with my engine water temp at 185f. engine oil temps were 240f. , transmission ( M6 with no cooler ) was at 240f. , and my diff temp was 237f. exactly. The diff temps were well over 150f. cooler than it ran without a cooler. I'm especially proud of the diff cooler I fabbed up for it. It worked perfectly, actually much better than I had hoped for. You may remember my little write up a while back about my diff cooler project.

All in all the LG "Supercool" radiator worked as advertised in a very hostile environment and only now do I consider all question marks about it removed. It's one very nice piece and definitely the best setup out there for our fbodys.
