What did you do on your Front Engine Dragster TODAY?

I understand. I tried water, i tried holding water, recirculating water, etc. Then i had to replace my block (good story there...), and this block has never seen a freeze plug, water, or anything like that. matter of fact, my heads on the car now are solid, with no water ports in them. It's cool after 20-30 minutes. With water it took forever to cool.

Out with the engine today. It was leaking like the Exxon Valdez :P. Rear main, pan gasket below the timing cover. Building character I guess, did I really need this?

With the coolant setup I have the block is cool almost quicker than I can do pit maintenance for a turn around when it works. I will hate to give that up.

How do you cool the trans between rounds? I have a blower that i bungee on the center section and it blows air around the converter and the outer case of the glide.

My coolant lines for the transmission are steel and run all the way to the front where there is a large fined cooler. Transmission heat has been a small problem but never hotter than 200 by temp gun.
I do not make anywhere near the HP you make and ET's are much slower.
