I have an oil over-cooing condition for street duty. Even with a Mocal 202* thermostat the oil does well to get up to the water temp (160*). On cold days the needle usually does not budge off the lowest reading of 140*.

If the carbon is left "nude", do the uv's breakdown the resins over time? Or does clear coating it reflect or absorb them? Curious...mike

mark, ive been paying alot of attention to your builds with the ls9s, im building a 66 nova with a lsa so alot of your info crosses over pretty well. one thing ive been looking to find out is how big of a reservoir you run for the supercharger coolant? i havent found anything on it and i figure you would be the guy to ask. thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us, your builds are amazing to watch!

Wow, reading this thread is like taking a course in hi-performance cooling 101. I love this sight, learn something new every time. Ok, enough teasing, lets see a rendering already!

Hey Mark, I think you are going to have to write another book, after this one!

That oil temp is surely too cool. This makes a very good point though. You could downsize the oil cooler, at the same time, you aren't adding that thermal load to your cooling system. I would guess that you don't have piston squirters.....

I don't want to take over this thread with a bunch of technical talk, but am very interested in continuing the conversation....I'll start, or find another cooling thread somewhere else later

Mark, Do you have any updates for us? After seeing Mayhem yesterday at Autorama you are going to be hard pressed to raise the bar again.
