The recovery and stability of this IC is what I like and what I was after and works for my car, mods, and daily driving. If I were drag racing the car or making a 1/2 mile car, I'd go a different route. For daily driving or light track duty, this IC is perfect IMO. |
Impossible.
Literally impossible. The Evo 1 is about 14.5lbs and the VRSF is 27.5 - It has more thermal capacity and it shows.
Per you

So we have
Wagner Evolution 1
Ambient temp - starting Temp - end of 3rd
70 - ??? - 110
VRSF Competition:
79F - 92F - 92F
And I suspect Wagner's lighter weight means it soaks faster in stop and go traffic like the Evolution 2 in this test:

Like I said, I'll wait for more logs (if you choose to share) but this will likely not work for anyone who uses central cooling for their homes in the summer.
