Preferred Coolant Temps

For my cars that I've raced thru the years both BB and SB setups on either pump gas or race gas/pump gas mixture this is my procedure. I warm the car up 45 mins or so before time runs by driving around the pits and get engine temp up to 190. For a run I try and pull out of the staging lanes into the water box around 150, and typically I'm at 160 or so when I stage. Depending on the time of year I run the fans some in the lanes to cool down the temps or start the car a few pairs early to get some extra heat. All of my cars have factory water pumps with the Moroso electric water pump kits, I do run a thermostat, but it's gutted.
