First Track Day-Overheated!
I am not new to this board, I just never have much to say. I need some help. Last week was my first track day and it was clear and sunny, the outside temp was about 90 degrees. After about ten laps, my 1979 stock SC started to loose power. So I checked my gauges and noticed the temp gauge was almost in the red! Oil pressure dropped to 2 bar so I pulled off the track and let the car cool down. After the car cooled down the oil pressure is back to normal and has full power. I have never had issue with overheating while driving on the street. Is this normal for a stock SC or do I have issues? Is it time to upgrade to a better oil cooler? Help
What I do know:
1) Trombone cooler is HOT
2) Stock SC
3) Never overheats in city driving
4) Timing is set correctly
5) Oil level is between full and lower mark
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks
