baja bug 12a

When I'm running my car hard the water temp likes to run around 200-210. The oil is at 210 but does not go over. Then if I just cruise the water temp is around 180-190 & Oil is around the same. Does anyone know if you can get a better water pump then stock??

How do you have your rad set up, and where is it placed in the car? The stock pump should be fine, the oil temps are good. I would be looking at increasing air flow through the rad. If you are running an electric fan, i assume, what is the cfm rating of it and are there any restrictions that would impede the incoming air flow? If you are running long hoses between the rad and motor, you might concider using aluminum tubing, for the long runs, with a rolled bead on the ends for the rubber couplers, similiar to intercooler piping. That will help give off some of the waste heat. You could even add fins to the tubing to extract even more heat. Similiar the fins on steam radiator piping.
