My LS1 RX7 Build
That is more of a fine tune adjustment at this point. What I'm getting at with my street tires there is no amount of weight transfer I can create with making the rear soft that is going to fix my traction trouble. But a simple tire change and I'm good then I can dial it in from there to break the rear lol.
Here are some auto X pics from this weekend this is with the new coilovers you can see it still has some rearward movement.
went a little to hot into the shutdown area that had some gravel in it.

Made 392HP / 361TQ on a mustang dyno and it was hot a humid out too.
Here is another pull I dont know what was up with this one but the load on the dyno does not seem to be right at the top end.

questions about FD dual oil coolers on ls1 fd here is what I picked up today. Dual oil coolers! I’m going to get –10 AN fittings to run the according braided lines to them with the built in thermostats that are in the coolers. With the LG or lingenfelter cooler plate on the LS1 motor. Here is my question does anyone know what temp these stats open at?
I'm thinking of using both of them for the track I think it will work well even though it is over kill from what I have read. I still think it will work well with the built in stats just would like to know what they open at.
Also would it be needed to do anything to the oil pump to get it to push all this oil through this setup? My pump has already been ported do I need to shim it to up the pressure any?

-Did you verify the thermostats open @ xxx temp (180*F or what?)?
-Any more info on modifying/shimming the oil pump to maintain proper pressure/function?
-Any oil temperature data from having the duals on the track?
-Where do you measure oil temps?
I sent you a PM on the "other" forum BTW. Sweet car man, love the sleeper look. BTW, update your sig, the v8rx7forum is no more
Wilwood 7/8" master with a threaded rod to go into the RX7 pedal. I use JTR 1 7/8" headers with the V band collector.
Yes they start to open at 160 and are full open by 180. I shimmed the pump .015 that was good for about 12psi
Looks sweet. I have duals on my FD too and am planning on an ls1 swap pretty soon here. Couple ?s:

-Any oil temperature data from having the duals on the track?
