Default Fred I am late to your party but have a couple of questions

fkemmerer Fred my motor like yours is all aluminum and we both run a FI system in our cars. I have the opposite problem of running too hot. I modifiled a 180 thermostat from a dodge bb to keep my temps in the 190's to 210 range after being on the track. Oil temps are in the 220f. I run the rotella 15-40 with lucas oil suppliment. I do have the twin fans in the nose instaed of the splitter. They look good but do little to move the air.
Have you thought about have a cooler added into the radiator and keeping the front mounted one for looks? Raising the coolant thermostat to a 195f may also help.
I can't get over that your motor can't get hot enought and mine I can cook eggs on in just 5 minutes. This is also with the ERA street pipes. I have heat shields and fire barriers through out the car. A paxton hood pulls in air by the ton. I added to 4" fans to help remove the heat from the engine compartment out the side louvers. I swapped from the copper rad to the Aluminum Griffen one. The only thing I have not added is a fan schroud.
On a side note, how is the traction control working? Rick L.
