In jersey? how hot does it get for an event? summer? you may be just fine with a good 2 pass.

He's a track junkie. On the streets, we've been fine, but Pahrump hasn't been kind to us, nor has LVMS in the summertime.

I installed the Stillen / Earl's PS cooler. Works great, but a little pricey.

Honestly, I was eyeing that stillen one. They use a very high quality core, and it already has AN fittings and lines..

It gets pretty warm here in jersey. 90-95 on the track. Its mostly the fact that at my autoX the parking lot is small so most courses are very technical and have a lot of turns. By the second run, my PS is starting to give usually.

its the combo of the small tight track, fatter tires and 95 degree temps that does it!
