So far it has never gotten over 165 degrees even when it just sits and idles. The weather isn't very hot at the moment, I think it hit 60 degrees today so not too much strain on the cooling system yet. The car is a little loud but I figured it would be. It also smells like I have an oil leak but I can't see it or find it. I just smell it. The Caltrac setup is noisy. It clanks on every bump and every shift. I might try some different adjustments to get rid of the clunk. I don't need it hitting hard on the street.


I keep mine 1/4 preload, nice & quite 9k street strip miles & all is good so far.
