Update on my foxbody

I wish I could run an aluminum radiator but not in NHRA. OK in IHRA.
I do have an elec. fan, it didn't do anything for the ET, the stock belt driven one must be pretty good.
As far as finish line RPMs I didn't watch that close, it was my 1st day with the 5.13s and a tack with a shift light, but I would say 5000. Before the shiftlight I was shifting it by the stock tack and by feel. I felt like I was waiting to shift with the shiftlight set at 6000. I backed down to 5500 and no change in ET . I also short shifted in to 2nd on the 1st run by mistake with the same ET. these are the four runs before the waterpump died, 8.58 w77.72mph 8.59 w77.08mph 8.62 w77.08 8.59 w 77.47 I think it's out of motor
