Primarily use the car for the street and 30 minute or less track sessions currently, but would like to begin running longer events. Based on what I've read here and in other blogs, environmental conditions not withstanding, 20 to 30 minute sessions seems to be the limit before overheating issues begin.I do not see how a temp switch works because the temp switch measures oil sitting outside the diff usually inline on the way to the cooler. That oil isn't going to be an acurate temp. That's how most Tstats are wired in like champracer bove. If the Tstat is on the case then triggers the pump OK. That will work. I also do not think you can run the diff too cool on track. So if you just switched the diff pump on after the warmup laps I'm sure you would be fine and not need another failure point the Tstat. AS a racer I want stupid simple minimal failures. If the cooler is for a streetcar only you really don't need the cooler.
