oil temp/pressure gauge

[VMS Motorsports]

We dont run the fans.
I've had the red light on every night for 3+ years. You have to be overfilling it not to have it come on. The sensor is on the left side of the pan, the oil goes to the right when turning, thus triggering the low oil level light.

Ask such engine builders as Hank Scott about the light and if it is working properly then you should NOT see it. With that said you should use motorcycle oil or you will get foaming which will also cause the light to come on because of starvation in the pan on the left side which is also one of the pick up point for the return line on my car. I'm not an engine builder but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Really

You wont have time to look at gauges and turn fans on and off, fans as discussed are a preference and an opinion. We had a great discussion on this board in regards to fans. Kinda got a little technical and then some, lol.  I am keeping mine.  The last 8 cars i have built have one gauge, and thats a shift indicator, the guy that made that gauge is a little chinese genious.

i plan on running a 3 inch fan by the left front cooling kit to get more air to the side of the motor.  Does anyone else run one like this?

I run Amzoil or Red Line and it just depends on which one I can get my hands on. I do run a fan on the back side of my cooler and turn it on at the first yellow or a few laps in to the race (on the straight) because I'm just a Semi-Pro......LOL

Dan,

Are you talking about a fan to cool the engine on the firewall side of the engine?
Dave ran one on his car. I guess it worked good for him.

There are people who run 3" brake cooling fans mounted to the firewall blowing sideways to cool the back of the head, always thought that would be an interesting idea, but the less power we take away from these electrical systems, the better

I was thinking either that or on the left side engine air duct that i have i'd put a fan or on the firewall.

I had a fan (3 inch-ish) that ran in the ductwork that went from the front bumper to the Air Duct under the headers.  I liked it and used it frequently after the races to help cool the engine down.  I thought it worked great until I hit the wall and broke it....

How many people run the air scoop under the front nose of the car?  I have seen a bunch with and without this. Does it help.  This'll be my first year in a legends and I am somewhat paranoid with the air cooled engine, and getting all the air to it I can, and keeping everything as cool as possible.
