  I have aquired a smoking deal on a new, built turbo M20, 2.8L, along with a T40e and some other nice turbo goodies.

  Plan is for a streetable, track car, 300whp/300wtq which will be EASY on this setup. I have a DD.

  My main concern is keeping the car cool during the Oklahoma summers at Hallett.

  Big custom aluminum raditator a must, or 3row MCoupe enough? Obviously a bill oil cooler.

  Any other tricks for keeping a turbo car cool?

  also considering a fuel cell and E85

  From what I've read, all you need is a well maintained factory cooling system for a setup like the one above. An upgraded oil cooler will help keep turbo oil temps down, though. I'd still add a big aluminum radiator since track work puts a lot of stress on a cooling system. After that, don't worry.

  'cause we're aliens, and thats how we roll.

  if you are really worried.. get a vented hood to help get the heat out from under it.. but a bigger radiator and an oilcooler should be all you need

  I recommend faux zoomies like we used on the Amazon, they look cool too.
