John, we actually were using Gatorade Lemon-lime for coolant, so it's perfect

Quit stirrin', we want to look at the car and do some logging to find out what's going on.

One of our other shop cars is running the same setup plus headers, at over 340 awhp, and has been rock solid for 6 months, trackdays, etc, so we need to find out what's awry with John's setup
