are you guys using thermostat in your drag cars yes or no and why!

 

im not using one it cool the engine better

 

but the radiator dont have time to cool the water

 

use a thermostat if your worried drill a couple holes in it

 

I have ran with a thermostat and without on a couple different cars/setups and had no ill-effects on either, but with all my cars I've always ran the fan with a relay on ignition power

if you do decide to use a thermostat, make sure it's an OEM one, the cheap POS Auto Zone ones are horrible, even if they claim they are fail-safe, they have got stuck shut on a few occasions with 2 different ones for me, after that I ran no thermostat until I put an OEM one in

also Water Wetter is good stuff, use some of that if you want to reduce temps a little bit

 

i dont run a thermostat either. Car will for track use but ive run my old setup on the street without one and never had a problem
