The purpose of the air dam under the car is to push air up to the radiator thus cooling it and making the car run at a lower temperature.

Also do you have one on the car??????

Not Nessarily. It Depends On What Location Of The Gasket The Crack Is In. Check Your Spark Plug Tips For White Buildup. Sick

Usually The Only Thing A Heater Core Will Have To Do With Overheating Is If It Is Leaking. It Would Be Obvious By A Wet Floor Board. Drags Was Alot Better Than The First Time. Still Got Some Work To Do On it. I Posted The Outcome And A Video Under Street/Strip " Sick's Misadventures " And The Time Under Timeslips. Check it Out At Your Leisure. Sick
