Engine Temps through the Dragon

Barry Bordes · 04-27-2010, 02:59 PM

I was wondering how great it would have been if everyone at the Deal's Gap had checked their water, oil, and intake air temps, at their highest as they went through the Dragon.

It could tell us the relative efficiency of the different set-ups.

It was a cool day but I expected higher temps.

With a SMIC (PFS) and homemade cool air box mine were:
-air 33ºC
-water 86ºC
-oil 96ºC

Even after a 55ºC heat soak at the turn-around the air temps returned to 33ºC within a mile (without spraying).

Would you share your temps and set-up?

Thanks,
Barry
