tarmon

i was running straight water (which everyone sez works the best for cooling), i added 50/50 coolant and installed the 180 highflow...

1 i did try the 160 stat, it ran 200+.

2 i triple checked the timing and am running a brand new distributer

i could'nt see replacing my water pump yet, it's brand new..

the guy at the race shop also told me they get 10-20 degree drop using watter wetter in their race cars?? so whatever that's worth..
