Yeah v8 rangers in the rain are loco, boosted v8s are hell no lol. I'm not boosting 22 psi, I'm only boosting 12 psi for now, 22 psi with these tires i will not get traction not even 160 mph and I think that it sounds kinda dangerous lol. Wider tires are in the future. I have to worry about my overheating problem (still) and brakes.

For radiator I'm running the Afco v8 ranger swap radiator

And for fan i'm running a 14" perma-cool fan

Before the turbo setup I used to have two of these fans in the front as pusher where the intercooler is now, and when I was cruising the temp did not go past
180 degrees but if I was sitting in traffic it would go to 205+ but as soon as I got out of it it went straight down which it wasn't too
bad. But now with a huge intercooler blocking the air flow is a different story.

I have something planned for this issue, hopefully it will fix this. But I will be in a couple of weeks due to money :(

I had a radiator custom made to my specs. I have 2, 12 inch electric fans on my set up as pullers. I think the only time I have any, " running warmer than usual " is when its in the upper 80 to lower 90's out side and I'm stuck in traffic. Its has never goten hot, to a point I have had to shut it off or anything. But when its that hot outside we take the car with A/C, lol.

I had a cable setup at first. What a pain in the ass...... Its much easier to run the hydrolic setup than you think... I used my stock master cylinder then used a slave cylinder for an 84,, I think that was the year.... Then made a bracket and bolted it to the bell housing.... There are some old treads around here somewhere for what some people have used... Many differant than mine, some the same......
