Alright guys, update time. I wired the fans to run all the time, and put the stock radiator in. I didn't really test it much, just went to the track and raced. Didn't overflow at all until after the main event. ran the last 10 laps wide open in 2nd never even letting off. 6500-7400 rpm all the way around. Took 2nd, leader had a straightaway lead which I closed and would have passed another lap or 2. There is no heater core in the car, I just looped the hoses for that. I didn't have the block finished at all, just the head. After the main it was steaming a little, appears the radiator might be leaking around the top of the plastic where they are squeezed together. Car ran awesome, had 2nd fast time, won the trophy dash and my heat. Both fans running all the time seeme to make the diff. Not sure but I would guess that it would still boil over at idle maybe after awhile. I also was running rcing gas and timed it up to about 22. My exhaust was glowing pretty red, but pretty sure that was the 10 laps of never letting off at all. I am racing again tonight, I still plan on doing the leak down just to be sure. I had the gutted thermo in it as well.
