Sorry guys I haven't checked this in a while. No vids or numbers. It never made it to the track last year. We got the cooling issue solved very late in the year. I used a Griffin radiator. It was 18.5 X 27.5 X 3.25. I have dual 11" fans and a aluminum shroud on it. Really nice piece and it only cost $700 complete from griffin.

Big News:
Got the car to the track made 5 passes only 2 were full since I had never taken it down the strip before. First pass was an 11.49. Granny shifted into 2nd way to early because of the wheels coming up.
Second pass I repositioned where my hand was and the car ran a 10.67 with a 1.45 sixty foot. At that point we decided to pack it up.
There is more in the car though. I hit the brakes early on the 2nd pass and launched off the foot break instead of the trans brake. I'm pretty sure the engine will rev a little higher. Next time I'm going with a shift light.
I also weighed the car at the track and it scaled out to 3000LB. So I reached my weight numbers also. There might be a few more LB's hiding though.
Thanks to everyone for following along on this crazy journey with me. As always if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks again,
