Casual driving is left up to interpretation obviously. The longest I’ve driven it like this is 30 minutes. MAT temps sitting still will easily get up into the 150’s while moving it’ll get back down into the 120-130* area. I assume eventually it would get hotter, but for my style of casual driving it’s a non-issue. But again, would never recommend it if the primary goal of the car wasn’t drag racing. The car has ran an 8.39 with literally no ice in the tank and just mild temp water. It’s best to date with more ice is 8.37. Lots more variables come into play with that stat, but I like debunking the belief that ice is always required with ice tanks. Especially when doing comparisons to other forms of cooling that I won’t name.
