General Question of a thermal nature.
I worry about the car getting hot. But, what is considered hot?
I am looking for where I need to start worrying. I know the factory fans do not kick on until 205 F, so that is not hot. It is annoying, but not hot.
I know the factory temp gauge doesn't start to move until too late, but I think that is at 245 F or so.
If I am beating it around a Drivers Ed, and I get to 215 or 220, is that bad? Is it time to come in? Or, is it just time to pay more attention to my Ultra Gauge? The car does not seem to lose any power or be upset in any way.
I have a 2004 MT, with about 90,000 miles on this engine, a MM tune and a resonated mid-pipe. I short shift at about 8,500 at the track (unless there is a vette around). I opened up the vents behind the oil coolers, and the oil smells fine and does not show signs of thermal anything.
Thanks,
Mike
