Preferred Coolant Temps

I run mine at 140 at the starting line. Race gas 112. Mine doesn’t like being hott. Nor does multiple other cars I race regularly with. We dynod a 572 earlier this year and did a pull with the water temp higher, it lost power all the way around.

If it struggles to get up to your target temp, why not run it cooler and see what it does. It may like it. Just a thought.

Lowering my target would help but not much. The problem is my cooling system is TOO efficient and if I have both the pump and fan on, it will never get warm. I prefer to not run it without at least the pump on and that's when it takes forever to warm up.... even to 140.

I am going to try a drilled 160 t-stat per Meziere's recommendation and see what it does.
