Fabman reacted to racer47's post in the thread S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here? with Like.Yep, 300F oil is fine. Nascar also runs 250F water temp as the standard. They don't get worried until 290F or so, at 30-35 psi.

Fabman replied to the thread S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?.Mind blown. Guess I can close my grill up some as I am way over achieving in the cooling department. On a separate note, nice to see you around again, you've been missing for a while or have I not been paying good enough attention? (see full post)

Excuse the amazingly dodgey overlay but the Steada design is definitely not helping the clearance issue. BMR vs Steada profiles.

Didn't realize I would need to drop the panhard bar for it to fit. Remembered I had to drop the stabilizer bar to drop the panhard bar. Drove to the speed shop to buy longer...

I already have the 615+. I considered the 660+, but they were more expensive. Another benefit to the 660+ that was pointed out to me by a friend, is that they can be flipped on the wheel to get a little more life out of them.Once I wear out...

I would not go with a 40 aspect ratio but a square set is the way to go. Many of us have run 18x11s, and with a spacer and some longer ARP style studs a nice set of 315/30/18s will give you a stick like glue feel on track.
