Was it a 1/4 mile pass that you saw 160*'s on? Ebay air to air? You have it set-up so it is getting alot of air across it?

ebay air/air, front cutout with billet grill. 160 was at the end of the run. i just got the alky control kit, twin 14gal nozzles, that should do the trick. i do have trouble getting air flow it seems. without the fans on my water temp up quickly. i think the ebay 4inch intercooler blocks more than it flows.

The meth should help cool it down...I would measure boost before and after the IC to check for pressure drop.

Kurt Urban suggested to me years ago to try and keep IAT's below 140-150 with air to air as a guideline.

Shouldn't these temps be based on ambient temps, since it should run cooler on a 60 degree day vs. a 100 degree day?

17 psi on TT GT35Rs at the texas mile netted 210* IATs... The meth brought it down 100*

Thats a 24 second pull at ~ 1000 rwhp.

are you having any trouble keeping your car cool? i have a griffin 27x19, stock fans. last time at the track i had one fan stop due to a burned wire and the car would start to over heat on the way to the trailer after a run.

also whats you intake temp?
