    What temp does your 4age run at?

    Daily mine is around 75 degrees, in traffic and a bit of idleing it goes to about 80 degrees.

    When pushing it on a mountain, even at night, it gets as high as 110 degrees.

    Im running a oil cooler, but i dont have braided lines, just normal hose. Would braided lines keep it cooler? Or is where it is now normal?

    On a side note the formula atlantic motors run 93-110 operating temp. They say above 110 there is power loss.

    Thanks.

    No idea what temp mine is at, but runs at the first line on the ke dash. Thats with a 15" thermo fan and an oil cooler with braided lines.

    If at the track, and usually a hot day it may go up to about the middle if i go without letting it cool at all...
    At a night event it doesnt really budge
