    All that engine heat needs to go somewhere. Without a radiator you're not moving it outa the engine. You might be able to go with a SMALLER radiator, but I doubt you could run totally without one.

    Lots of people run drag cars without radiators. Can you tell us more about the combo?

    Methanol does NOT need a radiator if you know how to manage engine starts and idle. It is certainly not needed for a full pull less than 10-12 seconds!

    super common to run a dry block and just circulate water through heads. Only slightly less common to dry deck the heads as well and ditch the coolant system all together.
