So I went to the track even though the tune is no where near right to make sure the suspension is hooking good. The first three passes were in between 12.21-12.30 at 110-111 with random 60fts ranging from 1.67-1.80. I didnt make any adjustments as I know track prep still wasn't at it's best. I let it cool down and finaly get back in line light'em up and get up to the beams and amazingly it hooks and hard. I hit the rev limited going from both 1-2 and 2-3 and some how still ran a 11.9829@111.66 with a 1.6092 60ft. So I think ok let it get a little cooler and try again with my last pass being a 12.04@111.40 with a 1.61 60ft and right as I get my slip I check the temp and it's climbing towards 210. So I get my stuff and head out and the temp doesn't go down just striaght up past 210 and on to almost 260. So I shut it off and waited for my brother to come get me in his truck and trailer. While waiting I check out all the things I could with what I had and found that with rad cap off and the car running the fluid inside was being pushed out along with air bubbles. But there was no smoke,no oil in the water or water in the oil and the car ran the exact same as it did earlier. So WTF?

Did you make sure the cooling fan was running? Start with the simple first it's probably nothing major :peace2:
