I sure hope I am not wearing you guys out with all my questions....really appreciate all the help & advice
Engine temperature is increasing 20-25 degrees from staging lane to the end of an 1/8th mile run. I wouldn't think it should heat up that much? Car temp seems stable but elevated after a run at around 210 degrees as I go back to the pits. It typically is 180-190 degrees in the staging lane but does creep higher with any notable wait time. Typical outside temperature is 70-80 degrees, 70-80% humidity 1965 GTO dedicated drag car with a 1968 400 (462") and 68 #16 heads Griffin Universal Radiator - 2 rows of 1" tubes with shroud and SPAL electric fan Meziere Electric Water Pump - Heavy Duty, 42 GPM Moroso coolant restrictor in place of a thermostat but I dont know what size the opening is off hand Car has a SPAL temp sending unit (185/175) in case I dont remember to turn on my manual override switch for the fan and water pump Have only ever used 100% distilled water + Water Wetter in the car New personal best Friday night (7.577, 89.64 in 1/8th) so car seems to run ok but has always seemed to get hot pretty easily once it initially builds up some heat Is it possible to push water through the radiator too fast? WP appears to definitely be working well when I look in the radiator Thanks DV Last edited by dv657172; 07-21-2024 at 09:00 AM. |
