dude, how did you do?

[merlinsrealm]

Ran 6 times.....Could car kept running hot...could not even break 15 the first 4 runs...Let the car sit for an hour....started to get darker and cooler Ran 5th time and pulled 15.931 @ 86.56 mph.........Ran 6th time and ran 15.844 @ 87.26 mph.

As I dug into the car sat morning found out the dex-cool had broken down and the silicone crap that it produces was producing a blockage in the cores of the rad. Flushed it out realllll good and put some good ole fashion kill the ozone antifreeze. Putting a 160 thermo in this week nd hopefully if some of the parts I ordered this week comes in I will try ayco this Friday.

??? Is what safe to do? You cant mix the 2 but you can flush the system out and put regular antifreeze in which is what I did.
