so i live in the middle east where the summers are really extreme (45+ degree celsius )
and the heat robs the car of it performance

my 0-60 time drops by half a sec
i have a 13 charger SRT

what can i do to keep the car cooler so it performs like in winter
my only mod now is a CAI
just got myself a tuner waiting to custom tune

i have been told to get a jet 180 thermostat
how does this help and is there anything else?

A lower temp thermostat isn't really going to help. I don't know what temp the factory thermostat opens at, but all it will do is open earlier to let coolant flow to try to start cooling your engine sooner. It may keep the engine temp down for a few minutes but long term will likely get to a steady state at the exact same temperature. Also, your main problem is air temp and there is really nothing you can do other than move someplace cooler.

Working on the last of the quote for you on shipping. What a pain from FedEx. Everything liquid is hazardous to you! Waiting on the Chamber of Commerce information before I can quote it.

T-stat just tries to regulate the coolant but eventually it will be open all the time with the amount of heat generated and no more external way to put it in the atmosphere mechanically

Anyway, when we finally get the last quote I would suggest ACES IV, QB oils and QB HP Gold to take the most heat we can away chemically.

Reduced friction, more lubricity, and more evaporative rates in coolant.

Thanks for the patience!:bowdown:
