They do make a high flow thermostat so you don't have to drill holes.

Rich, you make it very hard to help. You come on here asking the most basic of questions, looking for help on your car that is performing waaaaay below the level it should, and when people try to help you tell them they don't know what they're talking about and that you have a full understanding of the issue.

X2...don't leave it running in the lanes. Put an electric water pump on it to get it cool between runs. Drive it to the lanes at 140 and shut it off.

Rich,put in a 180 t stat with a couple small holes drilled in outer ring, or use the Moroso restrictors disc that are available. running without one does make it run warm.
