Talking Stang_ROTY project status

My cooling prolem seems to be fixed so I took the car for it's first real road test to the dragstrip (about 50 miles) and I noticed a of things.
1) The engine has 50 miles on it and everytime a start it it's puffs smoke out the tailpipes and the inside of my tips are black. My Uncle followed me and he noticed it puffing smoke at WOT. (I still haven't taken the engine above 4500 RPM's.) How long does it take to break a new engine in?
2) That C4 tranny is HOT!! I can't believe that generates that much heat. I better get a gauge to read the trans temp.
3) I don't like the fact that my oil pressure drops under 50 psi at idle. Is that normal?
4) The temp. gauge never went above 195 but I found some foam when I opened the rad. cap.

Finally DONE!!
