HDDP,

As much as I love skeptics, I've seen you knock down everybody's products on this board. No matter what the idea was, if you don't have it on your race car or didn't think of it then it's not good enough. BDJ Racing can attest to this. You really need to lighten up a little.

Engines run better when cooler. With the entire OEM setup we would see 100+ temps after a 14sec drag race. Keep in mind that road racing has much more airflow and less WOT runs then drag racing. They are two completely different animals. Our thermostat is machined to allow additional coolant in prior to the thermostat being completely opened.

A member on the MB boards makes a thermostat that opens at a cooler temp, but if the computer is not configured the correct way the fans tend to overrun and burn out (check the board before you don't believe me). This also may give up some creature comforts like heat.

With our thermostat we kept temps below 90degrees even in full out runs. Plus after the runs the engine cooled much faster, but this isn't where the product shines. Since most of us will be doing spirited drving on the street, you will rarely be doing 2.8 mile road course runs, and at occasion be doing a stop light drag. Most of your time will be spent at idle and moderate throttle however. The increased flow will keep your engine at a nominal temp with it creeping over the 90 mark in really hot weather or prolonged idling, but will quickly drop down.

Our engines are not magical or special, they still adhere to all the basic rules for making power in an engine. This area was one that was overlooked.

Thank you,
