Re: ET difference w/ less oil
 

I do, once the oil is warm. Zero weight oil and coolant down to 70 degrees (digital gauge) or so is what mine likes. I fill the filter and put four qts in the pan. Never had the nerve to run it lower than that. Ends up about 100 to 110 at the starting line. 112 to 115 or so at the finish line. Been running the same bearings for two years now.

Re: ET difference w/ less oil
 

yea i know,, i am working on cooling performance over the winter,,,,,its tough when you are pitted on the return road at atco and have to drive the road coarse to get to the staging lanes and hope they are moving slow ,,,,,i guess i will have to show up on monday before the race to get a good spot gmonde

Re: ET difference w/ less oil
 

Youngblood makes a cooling device that will cool the car down to 50 degrees in the staging lanes with no spillage. It is called the cool one. It is great for quick cooldowns in the late rounds or cooling in the staginging lanes before a heads up or record run. Ck it out on his website Advancedclutches.com or call him 208-880-6214

Allan Patterson is going to be selling a slick unit in time for Christmas. Check his website. I saw one at Memphis. Pretty slick.

Re: ET difference w/ less oil
 

Rob will have his cooling unit at Vegas. Look him up in the pits. Less expensive and excellent quality like all his products.

Two Comments. If you use an Accusump it is a resevoir for an extra oil supply so when you make the run IF pan volume doesnt cover the pickup the accusump begins to support the pressure in the system to what ever you set the pressure. It is good for slowing down also as it supplies while the oil is draining back.
I noticed .05 or more when Accusump open with regular oil. Thin oil extra et.gains.
If you have an electric fan and water pump take an extra battery with a wiring harness to the lanes. Hook it into the circuit while you are waiting to run and it will cool the water while you wait. This is especially good if you wet the radiator like the "old days"

Re: ET difference w/ less oil
 

Send me a box and pay for shipping and you can have my old AMX 2-core radiator. It's been coated to expel heat. I think you can see it in the picture section of this forum. It was never a problem to use nothing but the fan & water pump in Arizona to get below 80 degrees; at least on cooler days. I always cycle the water pump then fan until cool, uses less amps and cools faster that way. I like to see no more than 100 as I pull up to the water box. If it shows 120 on the gauge, I'm not happy. I've gone to aluminum as allowed in SS class.

Do check out the "Cool One" as noted by Rod Green. Hurry as pricing is going up $100 soon. If you want one, let me know and I'll try my best to make sure the price is locked at the current price.
