Hmm ok then either Tomeis or OEMs then...just been reading about some of the cosworth ones failing.
Jacob- ASG said Tomei were great but costs more if not then go oem.

Just go OEM. Seriously. OEM spend BILLIONS on R&D. Tomeii is a name.

Rakesh, any cooling mods in mind? Maybe a low temp thermostat and ask sean to turn down fan kick in temp?

When your car spends more time on a dyno than the street its a good idea

not having a go, serious discussion...

the basis of thermal transfer means that a colder thermostat and thermo fans kicking in makes no sense.

If you are beating the shit out of it, it will still get hot and the thermo fans will make no difference, nor the colder thermostat...

i just dont get it...
