You say that your thermostat kept your ECT's below 90 degrees c ... Take a look at my data sheets under race conditions in 100 degree ambient temps with the OEM thermo and running 30% propylene glycol, 1qt of water wetter...

HDDP,

I was reading your comments on Steve Hellums thread https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ad.php?t=20813 where he discussed separating the HE coolant and engine coolant by adding a small radiator coolant tank. (I like this approach VS a new HE tank for street purposes)

There you mentioned that the IC is smack dab in the middle of the hottest part of the engine - so wouldn't a cooler running engine help with the heat soak issue - not just the IC but all the other components also?

Would running a cooler engine have any affect on performance?
What about the EvoSport Phenolic spacers? http://www.evosport.com/product/prod...VO.PER.32K.PS1

I'm not talking about drag/track racing - just basic street driving and possible canyon/road course driving?

Thanks -
