Default Re: WOT Tuning

since i only drag race , what i do is turn the fans on for 5 min in the staginging lanes then fire the motor for 1 min and shut it down . i do that every 15 min and my coolant temps go way down . in 1/2 hr . . if i push the car most of the way up the line i can leave the starting line @160-5which seems to help power a bunch over being @180-190

That was Lanes technique too. In his later deck plate engine (431 ci) he added an electric water pump to help stablize the water in the block to what was in the radiator. He also tried to have the water temp at 150 deg when he cranked to stage and 160 deg as he left.

I think the car is still at the NCM. Don't remember what type it was but it was plumed into a stock one with the guts removed.
