Pete;
I have thought about that myself,that's the reason for this thread....hoping to find someone that has used this set-up to get some first hand feedback.....
I have and will continue to run one road course that has very short straights and I guess I spend about 70% of every lap at or under 60 mph,barely hit 105mph on the straight.... Some other cars with air/
oil coolers told me their
oil temp runs a little higher here because of the lack of long straights and overall slower speeds,not as much air flow thru thr air/
oil cooler,that's one reason I'm looking into the water/oil cooler.....Longer tracks do not have that problem.....
While doing some research on this I have found some Nextel Cup teams use both type oil coolers,depending on the track they are running....
In my street car I'm runnig a 26"x19" Griffin radiator and on the race car I can run up to a 28"x19" radiator if needed,also run an electric fan.......On the street car with a 17" diameter electric fan I have no overheating problems at all,very happy with the radiator......same when I run road courses with my street car.....but on my street car I have no oil cooler and my depending on the track, I have seen oil temps in the 230 to 235 range,a little more than I like....most guys tell me they like to see their oil temps between 200 and 220,one guy told me that anything over 220 should be cause for alarm......
