Thanks Bill,
One question. Did you have a thermostat in the engine when you did
these measurements? That would effect the pressure and flow rates.
Of course what I need to know is how much flow is sufficient for full
power cooling. If I take the crossing point of the 'two core' data and
the 5594 RPM data as an indication, it looks like around 9 psi and 33
GPM is what the factory pump is providing. This should be similar to
Tracy Crook's situation. Am I looking at that correctly?
