A couple of us are running 10R80's on track. I think I'm the only one racing this box and Flyhalf is time trialing his. He has posted about his cooling development and final solution. I have never had the problem never racing about 65F ambient then corona virus hit and sidelined everyone. So I put in a giant cooler 67,000BTU's for oil and trans and vented the hood. I expect this to be enough. Flyhalf is also spraying water over his cooler to get the temps down. Maybe a bigger cooler for him might work? I do not know the relative cooling of what he has vs. what I have but my cooler added an extra full quart to the capacity.
So what about mercon LV VS. ULV? Does anyone know the difference between the two? ULV is the only spec per Ford. I have only found a teaser of data on the two fluids
LV: @212F 6.0 CS ULV: @212F 4.5CS
@104F 29.6CS @104F 19.2CS
I suspect if we ran the 10R80's at 225-230F the CS of the LV might be real close to the ULV at 212F and provide better function and life? We do this on motors all the time and it works perfectly with good longevity. Of course this does not work if you are outside the use parameters.
The question is how much different is LV than ULV? I can find nothing on what these fluids really are.
