"The new EWP150 worked amazingly well. The car would stay cool for two hot laps with track temps over 90, maybe even 100. We have yet to optimize the system and will be looking at was to reduce pumping loss, increase flow and we will be using a mildly pressurized swirl tank to further improve performance. I must say I was a bit concerned initially, but my expectations have been blown away!"
