Another downside is shortened turbo life.
Anytime if your in the area.

I'm not sure about the shortened life but we haven't had any problems what so ever on any we've done so far. Almost all are pushing 40+psi and over 1000rwhp. A couple are in the 2500 hp range with nothing but good things to say.

Are you just running one oil cooler?
Also will this UIM be for-sale?

Sure am....you can see it on the drivers side in one of the shots. It's the Fluidyne....the passenger side is the tranny cooler.

Yeah the UIM will be sold if it does what it's supposed to do. I'm just waiting on the car to be finished up so we can hit the dyno.

How have you worked out that one oil coller will be good enough?

He'll probably just watch the oil temps and see. I've heard a few people that road race a lot say when they went to one large upgraded cooler it made a huge difference in temps....then when they added a 2nd one it didnt make a difference.

What Stephen said......and also i'm pretty much just going to drag race the car with occasional street duty. Even if i drove it every day i don't think i'd have anything to worry about. The Fluidyne that i have is 4" thick and is a dual pass.

He hasn't logged on since June. He either sold the car or something unfortunate happened... Does anyone have personal ties to him?

But, you pop the hood and it's BLING BLING!! lol

Yeah thanks!! I hope to have her done sooner than later I'm only shooting for 600rwhp for the time being so that shouldn't be too difficult......HOPEFULLY!! With my super light weight that will hopefully equal some low to mid 9's at worst. Then put the auto back in it and see what she'll really do.
