Cool or No Cool
« on: March 22, 2017, 06:55:39 PM »
I am planning on running a Enderle injection with a bird catcher. My question is do I need to run a cooling system,since it will run on alky ?
I ran a gas carb. set up and needed it.

No, in fact you will need to do a pre warm up before you head to staging

I run a very small Honda radiator with a fan so I can control the temps especially when hot lapping in later rounds. You do not need much but I definitely prefer to have a radiator.

I ran water and block heaters to warm the engine with the stock block injected SBC and worked very well.  Today I run no water with the blown alky setup.
