I'm wondering if any one came across this problem...........

Everytime I do a burn out when I come to a stop I have water pouring out of the over flow can.

The car is running between 180 & 200 degrees so there is no reason for overheating. I have a billet catch can, the water comes out of the catch can overflow tube

I have a 440, supercharged, 510 cam, 410 rear & auto

Any Ideas?
Thanks
 
Do you fill the rad to the very top or do you leave room for expansion?What do you have for cooling fans?

It sounds like compression is getting into the cooling system. You have a unique combination, with high compression/boost levels. A bad head gasket or cracked head or block is a possibility. Timing is super important, but it sounds like a mechanical problem. Would like to know what you find.
 
Uh-oh.

Sounds like compression leaking into the cooling system. Take off the radiator cap (when engine is cold), start it up, and look for bubbles. Also might check the exhaust for lots of white smoke (condensation). If you see them, probably time to pull the heads and take a look.
