Hi Guys
We are trying to tune our engine in OAT of approaching 100F and only have about 5 mins or so at full tilt before temps get to red line.
For you guys in hotter climates how did you keep your engine cool long enough to do some tuning?
We are thinking about trying to spraying gobs of water into the radiator/s to suck some heat out of the system.
Any one got experiences of doing this?
I’m just getting familiar with the EC2 and wondering how long it took some of you to get the tuning right.
I’m hoping one of the closed loop modes will greatly reduce the exercise once Ive got it somewhere close.

Feedback much appreciated
