All over this thread we talk about what really works and you seem to know what's possible.

I would get a Stett dual or ER dual oil cooler if I were you. You could add a transmission cooler that was more stout than the stock one. You would want a savvy race shop to install that for you so it's not in the way of anything. I would try it on top of the intercooler.

You could get a new intercooler too.

Good luck.

If you're a beginner at the track or willing to drive at 8/10s you can run all day long with no issues at 85-90F weather. At 100F+, sorry, game over.

Other than that in order of cost:

1. heater on. FREE

2. distilled water + water wetter for the radiator will yield immediate results for low cost. (maybe an hour of labor to drain/fill the radiator at an indy?).

3. OC next (~$800-$1000)

4. FMIC last (no idea on trasmission cooler cost, it's a custom item)

With #2,3 & 4 and 92F ambient I had my AT finish 4 out of 5 25-min advanced sessions a couple of weeks ago, which I consider more than acceptable.
