My understanding is that there isn't sufficient airflow in this area to make a finned diff cover effective.Does anyone have an update if there is a finned diff cover for these cars yet?

Which BG fluid did you use? I used Royal Purple 75-140 so far but have considered going to BG.+1 for BG fluid and exhaust wrap. Myself and many others have found that to work for 20-30 minute sessions.
Yes I've tried all of the easy fixes. But I do have a 4.11 rear gear ratio and the Torsen LSD so maybe that produces more heat? And thanks for the quick replies everybody. I'm new to the forum so this really is aweseome!Have you tried fluid change and exhaust wrap yet? I've only had one warning with this but no limp mode (so far).
I use BG Ultra Guard 75w90 with the additive.Which BG fluid did you use? I used Royal Purple 75-140 so far but have considered going to BG.
I'll get FTB eventually (probably). I might switch to BG on the next swap. Do you use the Ford Additive with it? I'm also looking at a way to blow air across it between sessions. Possibly Ryobi misting fan or just my electric plug in leaf blower. Been told those two work pretty well.I use BG Ultra Guard 75w90 with the additive.

The 75w140 will take longer to heat up but will also take longer to cool off. For 20 minute track sessions, I think the 90 weight is better than the 140.
The titanium exhaust wrap near the diff definitely keeps heat away as well.
For a completely bullet proof solution, get the diff cooler from Full Tilt Boogie for $700
No Ford additive. BG fluid comes with additive pre-mixed.I'll get FTB eventually (probably). I might switch to BG on the next swap. Do you use the Ford Additive with it?

cast-iron doesn't give up heat. What you need is a bag of ice in direct contact with the aluminum cover. I'm thinking a bucket with axle slots cut out and full of water/ice enough to submerge say a few inches of the diff. Water is great for drawing heat out.Possibly Ryobi misting fan
I got lots left over. How about I sell you a box?can one of you guys link me to the heat shields to buy (and how many Ineeed)? I am planning some track time this summer.
