[DeTomaso] cold air options

[David in Durango]

Jack,
thanks for that tip - I have there rear raised about 1/2" (looks like hell) and think that helps flow through the radiator.  Last spring at Fernley I was able to run all I wanted with cool oil and water.  Previous year I could go about 4 laps before things got toooooo hot.

FYI: the Tiger overheating in traffic is cured by ducting the front so that all fresh air going in goes through the radiator (important on everything - cured all my miata problems) and keeping hot air from the rear out of the front of the radiator!

All this "best practice" stuff pretty much applies across the board.

cheers,

David

  On your v-8 Miata, I'd also look at venting the rear of the hood similar to what LA Tigers used  in their very tight engine bays. Even a 10 F degree drop is worth the trouble- JDeRyke
