Radiator To Manifold Clearance

[funguy]

Guys, wrapping the upper radiator hose is NOT a good thing, It's made of rubber so that it can expand as the coolant heats up. If you wrap it, you will build pressure and IT WILL find a weak spot.

hmmm that maybe true, but the expansion of the hose would be to muniscule. I have had it w/ wrap on long drivers already, no problem yet. I've taken the wrap off and on many times already. I also have a 19psi rad cap, and no leaks other than a small one in 3/8npt adpater into the Tstat.

I would rather have it leak slowly out than have a huge hole burned into it

Btw, is your tuned on just pump gas?

Yea, but not even very well yet.

looks like I can add more timing on my bottom area. you are pulling about 40+ more torque than me incredible.

Lots of room in your engine bay.

I have rectified the problem my snow performance water injection pump. The oring on the pressure relief was torn and would bypass when there was boost against the pump, with running 100% methyl alchohol/methanol/ methyl hydrate. Replaced that oring and now works all well. I'll go back to the dyno soon to extract some more power once I retorque my head studs, 32psi here I COME!
