You were working the car hard, and well - 315 - Tom needs to spring for an oil cooler....

Good times. What mods do you have on the car, and how much power does it have?

Good video. Is it just me, or does my car seem to be very darty, bouncing around a good bit? We thought we had a shock issue going into that weekend...

BTW, I already have the oil cooler, and the shroud modified for it, just been too lazy to finish.

It looked pretty darty to me in several locations on the track. I attributed it to the tires.

The oil cooler/rad gave me a lot of grief (actually the block attaching to the engine gave me a lot of grief) - but it works great now. Highest I have seen since install is 281.

Sounds like you need to come down here to texas and run at Texas World Speedway! Corvettes eat that track up and you would love it!

I want to do some TTs in my car, but Im running out of time this year and I dont really want to travel too far. Plus I havent taken the time to sit down and figure out what class I would be in.

TTU based on rwhp and the probable weight of the car....
