It takes time for coolent to lose heat, it doesn't happen instanently. If you can't increase flow then the only way to improve cooling is to increase time in the radiator so the return temps come down lower.
In answer to the other question asked the guy is using a standard engine except for extractor, Motec ECU which he has set for sequential firing. He is getting 180whp. Claims the sequential firing gave him 6whp more. There are 2 SVX engine on drag strips over here with twin turbo's and one has had a special steel crank made for it. My guess he is the only guy in the world with an SVX engine with a steel crank.
Will let you know what happen with the cooling.
Hmm.. Can you ask around for more info concerning that steel crankshaft?
