Default Went to the track tonight.....
ive just had no luck with cars recently lol. so on my first pass i spun (as usual) to a 1.65 60' and broken the throttle cable on the 2-3 shift and idled my way to a 13.0 @ 76 mph lol. so we rigged it up for me to drive home, electric water pump took a crap on the side of 73 (motor died). guess its time for shiny new parts

From the looks of your signature the car runs pretty good normally. That sucks you had some bad luck at the track.

If i'm correct I think you can just block off the heater core passages.
