The all aluminium engines don't seem to care, and many actually like to run above 180 F. The LS1 is a great bracket engine because it makes the same power between 180 and about 210. I cool mine with a seperate battery to run the water pump and fans. Like Jeff mentioned, we often take it to the staging lanes to cool down for heads-up races.

How many of you guys have drained the water in the pits between rounds and added COOL fresh water to cool the engine better
On all of our stuff filled with Hardblok the water cools down alot quicker. The oil temp will run a little hotter but we have no problems from Hardblok
