I have searched the forums. I have searched google. But I have not found the technical answer to my problem...

How does a v-mount help with cooling, power, and longevity of the engine? I know what it is supposed to do, but does anyone have numbers to prove it? Eg. temp lowers by 20F or something like that?

Also, I hear that supposedly the optimal running temp for a sr20det is between 170-180F (water temp). If this is so, why do so many drifters run v-mount setups (which @ speeds of 80mph plus, would lower this water temp well below 160)?

Like I said before, I am well aware of what it is supposed to do, but I have not yet found numbers, hp gains, technical stats etc. to prove that a v-mount actually does do what it should...

any help?....
