I realize this is probably a stupid idea, but what about running a 2nd oil
pump for the cooler? That way you could cool the oil w/out worrying about
dropping pressure in the engine.
If the pump fails, it isn't a total loss. You'd just get hot oil. You'd
still want to stop in the pits, but at least it wouldn't mean engine
failure.

After my recent run at the Vegas Track event
I have decided that the only way I can cool my
oil down below 300 running at 6800 on most of
the corners is to put a air to oil cooler up front
as Charlie Puckett told me to do several years ago
He and I have tried other locations, oil to water, fans
etc... I give up so up front we go or I am going to
eventually roast my motor.
I think 5/8 hard lines under the car but as most
have told me I will need to pump that far... I will
leave the stat in the filter adapter and the only
time I really need to use the cooler is when we
track the car... put ithe pump on a switch would be best
(electric).... now who... what size.... pressure???
any thoughts???? maybe off the new vette, ford gt???
