I was running the car at full tilt (~18psi on e85) for 25 minute sessions with ambient temps anywhere from 60-80 (different events) and my car never went above 220 degrees. The majority of the time i would glance at my gauge it was at 205-210. Certainly makes tracking the car more enjoyable when you can stay in it an entre session.
That's what dreams are made of. When my car was turbo (before it got stolen) my biggest annoyance was the inability to truly enjoy myself at the track... I'd always have to pull off track or take a cooldown lap just as I was getting into it....

Now to rebuild using everything I've learnt ... And a cement mixer tub.

This is brilliant. Old thread kinda but did you use rivets and zip ties for the cement tray? Or reuse any holes already in the frame? Also did you have to manipulate the tray with heat?
