401 hell yeah
Finally got the cooling system put back together. I eliminated all the tees that route coolant through the throttlebody so that allowed me to run regular 5/8” and 3/4” bulk heater hose like a squarebody. Only issue was the expansion tank has 1” fittings so I was waiting on a silicone adapter to allow the connection. Got about 3-4 gallons of filtered water and two bottles of coolant boost in it. Was running around 183* on the test drive.
Good idea getting the coolant out of the throttle body.
Yeah, I did that on my tpi years ago on the K5
Dont have to worry about ice here haha.
Even before I got coolant on the rear tires,
the car was very easy to oversteer and I wasn’t even trying hard yet. I dropped the pressure from 36 to 30 on the advice of some fast guys. Didn’t help very much but they are cheap chinese tires with a 360 treadwear rating. The best my class allows is a d.o.t. 200 t.w. rating. I walked around the pits and this is what all the fastest guys are running.
I have two of those and some wheels on the way. Should be here friday which is awesome because Sunday I have another run!

I would bet the tires will make a huge difference, they certainly do in drag racing.
You will probably want them on the front, I wonder if will go from understeer to oversteer with those tires on the back?
It will be interesting to hear your experience!

That’s exactly what I’m hoping for. If I can get it to understeer, i’m much more familiar with that type of handling and feel I can be faster than it is now. Add more front as needed. At least that’s my thinking anyway!
Should be almost 10 degrees cooler this Sunday as well!
Abuse it!

Hoosier Daddy!
You're missing 2.
Ready for Sunday funday
Went out this morning and did the initial scrub on the tires. Can’t get them very warm on the street but it’s better than nothing I suppose. Says to let them cool for 24hrs.
Yes this weekend is. My first high speed 2.4 mi. road course run is Nov 30 ann Dec 20
Have you bought this mug yet?
Went to track and no update yet uh oh
