It is fine. The shock towers carry most of the load, and the k-member is tied into the frame rails. I couldnt see where the top of the radiator support carried much load.We have done them with leaving the top of the support in and mounted the radiator under the top too. Just have to drop the lower radiator cradle a little. If you are really worried about it, you can add some tubing after the rad is in to build a structure. It is fine without it though.

I have been warned not to use copper gaskets due to water seepage... is this concern modernly justified or a thing of the past?

Another myth. When a quality SCE copper gasket WITH the proper technique and sealant are used, no problems.

Yeah if you can beat an 8.81 you'd have the GT47-88 record. Now to beat the quickest 88mm combo you'd have to beat MightyMouse I believe, and I think he's around an 8.71.

Anything below a 8.73 and you would have MightyMouses record. That's my goal, but with A/C and a GT47-88.

That's doable, GT47-88's have gone 8.2's or 8.3's if not even quicker.

I've seen the data on the 8.8 pass and I can tell you with 100% confidence from the power management standpoint the car has a mininum of a half second in the tuneup. I would not be surprised if the setup ends up going 8.0s or high 7s.

Well I guess it hooks.
Back under the knife it goes for repairs

Damn! that was a good vid right there! The only thing better than that would have been to lay the camera in the middle of the track!
