Today I changed the radiator and the elec. fan. Alum. radiator from auto zone, direct replacement. Free with the ol lifetime warranty

Now the good stuff, Last week I only ran 12.13 @ 119, Today I adjusted the clutch cable a little stiffer. I also decided that if the ol tremac wouldn't shift at 7000, I'd shift at 5500 for 2nd gear. Good chioce, I never missed a gear, ran 3rd out to the stipe. I launched at 2000 on the BFGs, shifted at 5500, It would fry the tires when I hit 2nd, I ran 2nd to 7000 and stuck 3rd. I was crossing in 3rd at 7500rpms. It ran 11.88 @ 123.57 I did this three times and came home.

I think tomorrow the 4.30s are going in.
