My 07 Ram Hemi I was trying to get more MPG and I went to a electric cooling fan for a 2010 Ram airconditioning rad. I can turn off the fan pretty much all year. It will sit and idle for a long time before I need to turn it on. The Hemi must have a pretty good cooling system.
Great video Rich, you have done a great job with that old goat!! Lots of R and D on that car that makes it work excellent. Thank for sharing and all the info on cooling and other stuff
Very helpful video. After torching a head I am dry decked now so glad to see a street driven car and how it performs. What size are the lines/fittings from block to head? What temp thermostat do you run? Ever consider reverse flow? Thanks in advance and congratulations on all your success!
10AN fitting at the back. Being as it’s winter when I leave Canada I run 180 then switch to a 160 high flow when I get to warm weather, my thermostat housing is oringed so I don’t have to mess with gaskets. I have thought of reverse cooling bit that means getting rid of the mechanical factory pump…. And I like the reliability of it. Reverse cooling would definitely be better, but I have seen a downside to this set up Yet.
I was wandering if you could do a video on solid roller lifters? I’m running a bullet cam that is designed for the butler 340cnc head.The cam is ground on the Ls firing order with a Hyd roller profile tight lashed at .004.With all that said I want to know your thoughts on current offering living on the street.BTW my target is 1600 max drive anywhere kinda deal…
What brand of lifter do do you run and is it restricted?Im going to order lifters and looking for durability.Do you run bushed or needle bearings just curious thanks!Good tips on the valve train video!
Have done any logs with just water in the intercooler and no ice? Thinking of going air 2 water on next build and just trying to figure out different options. Also do you run a heat exchanger/rad on the a2w or just the water cooler?
I actually made a pass on sickweek with no pump on (we were troubleshooting a fuel issue and unplugged the water cooler pump) temp only went up to 130, but we were running the pump so we probably chilled it somewhat.
@@The_Performance_Laboratory I was going to but now I think I am going to just stick to air to water and C16…. Honestly just more comfortable with it than methanol
@@Canadianchucknorris69 Rich, certainly many have many more concerns issues with running methanol fuel, especially with HIGHLY FLAMMABLE liquid, fire safety, etc. However, seriously consider using ethanol from true E-85, C-85, 85% E [as NASCAR] up to higher ethanol E-88, 90, 95 + as others including with Top Alcohol NHRA/IHRA/PDRA/etc. This is much simpler with much increase in power [minimum 100 HP+] over any older racing fuels as C-110-116, with cleaner burning, far less carbon deposits, build-up, lower temperature combustion, and during RMRW and higher air temperature, summer events including Sick Summer, etc, no issues, problems with fuel heating, overheating, boiling in the tank. Also the fuel is far more consistent with quality, content even from racing fuel suppliers and less expensive too. Certainly there are some components and fuel lines that will require changing.

@@Canadianchucknorris69 I would think it would help. Heat goes up. Thanks for your video's did my first drive and drag last summer, loved it. Doing Sick Summer this year.

Very interesting!
Awesome video man .....glad to see you doing your own TH-cam channel.....
It was great seeing you at sickweek , we had a absolute blast this year.
You must be the only fast car using a factory water pump. Amazing.
One of my cars has some factory gauges I have connected up, but the other I have ECU outputs trigger the OEM idiot lights. GEN light at
Great video dude!!
Appreciate it!
Very interesting
Glad to see your channel. Please keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
HELL YEAH RICHARD this is incredibly useful information for the masses, keep it up my guy
Another GREAT upload !! Thanks for taking us along 💪
Richard can't drive 55. 😂

Thanks for the tips 🏁💪🏼
Thanks for posting. Enjoy your vids. Think about coming to Norwalk 2024.
I need to look into Norwalk this year
Yup how I use my in car heater, help keep motor temp down
Did everything go good on the drive home from Florida?
It went perfect!

Yet.
What fitting is that going into the block? I tried a few and there's not a lot of room back there.

There is a valve train video on the channel and I cover lifters, let me know if you have more questions
What brand of lifter do do you run and is it restricted?Im going to order lifters and looking for durability.Do you run bushed or needle bearings just curious thanks!Good tips on the valve train video!
@@scottk2342 there are restrictors I will have to check what size and the lifters at .904 crowers bushed.
Thank you sir!
Cliff Guinand art work
Yup!
Canada🇨🇦🤠💪🏽
On anything other than Sick Week where its cool temps, we have to run the fans the whole time it will overheat at highway speeds without the fans.
Interesting, what rpm do you turn going down the road?
@@Canadianchucknorris69 about 2200
Great video

So you're still running gasoline?
Premium on the street and C16 at the track

Did the hood vents help much?
I honestly don’t have data to prove it one way or another

Ya it can’t hurt
Thanks for the insite Rich.
Love it buddy.
