Hi Silver,
We had a similar discussion when I published my results from a Trifecta tuning session
1: factory fan installed wired in reverse (might not be on yours)
Nop, not an issue on mine
2: pump flow is backwards causing cavitation
This I'm not familiar with but will do some research on the forum to learn about your findings.
3: no bleed valve in the system as soon as you get an air bubble the system will stall
I've got an additional and separate accumulator tank for the SC coolant. It sits above the factory one and should absorb any air bubbles.
4: intercooler not in the flow of the air, fans don't help much
ok
5: 300's should have come with a dual bypass endplate...many did not
I don't know what that is Again, I'll do some research.
6: you can upgrade to a harrop which was supposed to offer lower IAT's I have not found that to be true
I haven't experienced any overheating issues first hand myself (yet) but I only have a handful of trackdays under my belt. The highest ambient temperature during those days was 87F and the lowest around 60F. I did not experience any difference in top speed or acceleration between those occations
I did however feel a big difference in handling between Yokohama and Toyo tires and different wheel aligments.
Considering these cars were built in Oregon, maybe they are optimized for our Pacific Northwest climate
