i was out racing a mustang today and all the sudden i heard like a spraying sound.

the tube going to the heater core busted so i fixed that but my car is still overheating any one know what it could be?

i turn on the heater and nothing but cold air come out.

and also my radiator should be hot after the car has been running for awhile right?

You lost a lot of coolant. Simply replace the volume that you lost, and the car will stop overheating and you will get hot air from the vents.

sorry ment stuck closed
but i also agree with EZ about replacing the volume of coolant and then doing a proper burping of the system to get rid of any air that might be stuck there
