Got everything buttoned up tight..drive the car tonight (finally had some time to play with it on the HW) Before I had the chance to romp on it I realize my coolant AND oil temps are both going up!!! (Coolant got to the next mark right of center and oil hit 225 mark) Mind you I was doing all of 65-70 mph and it's all of 50 degrees out (earlier when this happened). The only thing I can think of that I effected was the cooling of the radiator which would in turn effect the coolant flowing through the oil cooler (raising it's temp). Looking at the way the core is mounted I can't push it any more back towards the radiator, and it looks like I may have a nasty pressure drop in the area behind the core (which is fvkcing with the cooling of the rad) OK guys..c'mon..theres some serious geniuses in here with some damn good ideas. A friend of mine suggested "speed holes" in the section of bumper where the front plate mounts to get some air flow to that part of the rad then using some sheet metal and making a piece that would divert air from the "speed holes" to the area BEHIND the IC core. Or my other Idea I had was moving the core at an angle (bottom of core moved out more than the top) and using sheetmetal to make piece that would scoop air from below the core and moving it up to the area behind it.

This is so damn frustrating...here I am with a 300+ hp car and I can't whoop up on it...guess this is the trial and error portion of custom fabing sh*t...huh? I was just about to get on it so I could here my new dump tube open up and and I see the coolant and oil temps start climbing.

Ideas guys?? or, justify/modify mine.
thx!
