Reading up there are soo many mixed reviews on larger single oil coolers, looking foward to seeing what your thoughts and current setup is. BTW I have my eye on the setrab 25 row 7"x11" being i have a larger oil cooler opening with the INGS bumper.
2 coolers. One on the drivers side, one on the underpanel with louvers to force air in through the top and pull air out the bottom. I will snap photos if i get a chance. I will find out soon how effective it is.

What kind of racing cage are you looking at?
The definition of insanity is repeating your mistskes over and over and expecting different results. I have not lost hope, but I am facing the facts. Something about the setup i had blows up motors. I have some information to gather and brains to pick before coming up with my hypothesis and remedy.

In the meantime I will enjoy some good na power.

I have not done my research on cages, but there is a good builder not far from me I could go to.

Yeah, good luck, even if you don't get 350rwhp, it was still pretty fast in that video you posted.

Speed on the race track can be achieved in many ways, POWER is just one of them. Fact is, that my best NA times were only a few seconds off my FI times.

The other problem is that to make 350 RWHP the motor is making 450ish due to power train/supercharger lose.

My search skills led me here right where I wanted so what ever happened to this, given up on ? and is this a common problem with the Procharger or just an over 8 psi thing with a renesis ?
