Hi Folks - new here and wanted to ask a question. I posted this on the Mustang6G Forum but maybe would be helpful to ask the question here. Got some good feedback from ewheels already. Looking to see if this makes sense to others. I just can't believe a PP1 GT stock could be this bad. See below.
I'm having an engine cooling issue and wanted to know if this is common for Gen 3 S550 GTs. I have done some digging but it's not clear to me and hence my direct question.
I have mostly a track car ... '20 GT PP1 A10 but stock at the moment and I can't run more than 3-4 laps (maybe 6-9 mins) before I hit 250F CHT and go into cool down mode. I'm really surprise that this is occurring. I replaced the t-stat w/ a 170F because the OEM was defective. Around town, CHT is 182-198F range. So perfect/no issue. But when I open this up at the track, the engine gets hot very quickly. The trans temp is good for now ~ 221F max and the rear diff is okay for now as well ~252F max (note this is after wrapping the exhaust and changing to 75W-140 ... which made a huge difference).
Have others had this same problem at the track ... or is it likely unique to my car? Would appreciate your thoughts/experience. Thanks.
