Agreed on the low oil temp. Didn't know the meth tip or that Bill did it on stk Tstat. Good heads up. It always seems a cooler stat was/ is mentioned early in the game.
On a kinda related aside...
It's my understanding powerplants are engineered for specific output(result). When u increase power beyond what it was engineered to operate( a given HP/TQ) you increase friction which in turn increases wear. I try to be realistic in my goals. I'm sure not gonna come on any thread & say I'm gonna take a Radix up to X-amount of boost beyond what they say, throw some juice @ it too, & expect it to live beyond 100K miles. A rebuild will certainly enter into the picture rather than later.
I'm always lookin to learn, open to ideas. Those ideas are often how we learn.
